/Sounds like "peh" (as in "pet") + "LAH" (as in "lava") + "dah" (as in "dart")/
To be completely broke, with zero money left. In Colombia and Mexico, when someone is "pelado" or "pelada," the wallet is empty and there is genuinely nothing to pull from until the next paycheck. A casual but very relatable confession.
“After the vacation I was completely broke, I spent every last peso.”
“I can't go out this weekend, I'm flat broke until the fifteenth.”
/Sounds like "peh" (as in "pet") + "LAH" (as in "lava") + "dah" (as in "dart")/

Faite
A neighborhood bully or tough guy who uses aggression and intimidation to assert dominance. In Ecuador and Peru, the faite is always looking for a fight and uses conflict as a way to show hierarchy. The attitude is more bark than bite most of the time, but the intention is very much to be feared.
