/Sounds like "peh" (as in "pet") + "LAH" (as in "lava") + "nah" (as in "nacho")/
A basic, classless, or broke person with no style in Yucatan slang. Calling someone "pelana" in Merida means they have no taste or status. Among young people it can be teasing between friends, but directed at a stranger it lands as an insult.
“Stop being so basic and don't do that in public, it's embarrassing.”
“She dresses so plainly, it looks like she doesn't care at all.”

Nde rasa
A Paraguayan expression mixing Guaraní ("nde" meaning "you") with Spanish to say "you are too much." Depending on tone it can be genuine admiration or an affectionate scolding. It is one of the most distinctly Paraguayan phrases, born from jopara, the everyday blend of Spanish and Guaraní that defines speech in Paraguay.
