/Sounds like "keh" (as in "kept") + "DAHR" (as in "dart") + "troh" (as in "troll") + "NAH" (as in "nacho") + "doh" (as in "door")/
To be completely broke after overspending, that state where the money is gone and payday feels impossibly far away. In Mexico, "quedar tronado" captures the specific misery of having spent everything and now having to wait it out.
“Quedé tronado después del viaje, gasté más de lo planeado.”
“I was completely broke after the trip, spent way more than I planned.”
“A fin de mes siempre quedo tronado.”
“I always end up flat broke by the end of the month.”

Grocerías
Chicano Spanglish for groceries or supermarket food shopping, straight from English. Nothing to do with "groserías" (bad words): these are the bags of food you bring back from the market.
