/Sounds like "TOH" (as in "toe") + "peh" (as in "pet" without "t")/
A speed bump on Mexican streets, those treacherous raised humps in the asphalt that wreck your car's suspension if you don't see them in time. Mexican topes are taller and more aggressive than anywhere else.
"Watch out for that tope, it's really high."
"The topes on this street are a nightmare."

Achicopalarse
Sentirse triste, desanimado, acobardado o emocionalmente encogido por dentro. Es esa sensación mexicana de hacerte chiquito cuando algo o alguien te hace sentir que no vales o que no puedes con la situación.
