Tela
/Sounds like "TEH" (as in "ten") + "lah" (as in "lava")/
Spanish colloquial expression signaling that something is very difficult, complicated, or outrageous. "Tela marinera" cranks it up a notch. Comes from "hay tela que cortar" (there is a lot of fabric to cut through), meaning there is a lot to deal with.
“Can you believe the price they put on those tickets?”
“The nerve on that guy after everything he did is absolutely something else.”

Pizarrón
A large board where the teacher writes in the classroom, the center of attention in every Mexican classroom. Used to be black slate with chalk; now it's white with markers, but it's still where you copy the homework.
