Bandera de Venezuela

/Sounds like "peh" (as in "pet" without "t") + "ROHL"/

An old, beat-up car that barely runs, stalls on its own, and makes weird noises. In Venezuela, a 'perol' is that car that should be in the junkyard.

Example

"He's still driving that perol that stalls every five minutes."

"Sell that perol and get yourself something decent."

Aliviánate

Bandera de México

Anímate, ponte de buenas, sal de ese estado de tristeza o desgano. Cuando alguien anda todo apagado o decaído, le dices aliviánate para que se sacuda la mala vibra y vuelva a funcionar como persona normal.
