/Sounds like "sah" (as in "salsa") + "LEER" (as in "lead") + "pee" (as in "pea") + "TAHN" (as in "tar") + "doh" (as in "door")/
In Spain, to bolt or take off at full speed, leaving a place in a sudden rush. The image comes from a whistle blowing: when it sounds, you move immediately. Used when someone leaves with urgency, whether in a hurry or to avoid something.
“The moment the boss showed up, everyone bolted from the bar.”
“I had to race out of work so I would not be late for my doctor's appointment.”

Aplicado
A diligent, responsible person who puts in real effort. In Mexico, aplicado is the compliment you get when you finally buckle down and take your work or studies seriously. It has a slightly parental tone, like approval from a teacher or boss.
