/pi-KAR-se/
To get offended, take something personally, or feel called out by something said in general. In Mexico, if someone 'se pica,' they reacted to a comment that wasn't even directed at them — which usually means it hit closer to home than they'd like to admit.
"If you got offended by that, you must have felt it applied."
"Don't take it personally — that wasn't even aimed at you."
