/Sounds like "peh" (as in "pet") + "GAHR" (as in "garden")/
To catch on, become popular, or succeed widely and quickly. When something pega, it resonates with the public and spreads fast: a song, a business idea, a phrase, and suddenly everyone is talking about it.
“That song hit big this summer all across Latin America.”
“The business took off from the very first month and they had to hire more staff.”
/Sounds like "peh" (as in "pet") + "GAHR" (as in "garden")/
When a song becomes massively popular and gets played absolutely everywhere nonstop. That track that's on the radio, in the taxi, at the supermarket, and you're humming without realizing because it's already stuck in your head.
“That song blew up hard, I hear it everywhere.”
“If that track hits, he's gonna be a millionaire.”

Ser la pera limonera
In Spain, to be the absolute best, exceptional and a little eccentric at the same time. It takes "ser la pera" (already a strong compliment) one level further. When something is la pera limonera, it is not just great, it is singular and unforgettable.
