/Sounds like "tohr" (as in "toll") + "SEE" (as in "see") + "doh" (as in "door")/
Corrupt, crooked, or operating outside the law. Used in Mexico to describe anyone who bends rules or engages in shady dealings, from officials who take bribes to people with criminal connections. The image is built right into the word: someone "recto" (straight) is honest; someone "torcido" (twisted) is not.
“That official is seriously torcido, he fixes everything with cash under the table.”
“Do not do business with him, he is crooked and sooner or later it will catch up to you.”

De garrafón
In Spain, cheap or adulterated alcohol served at some bars and clubs. Drinking "de garrafón" guarantees a brutal hangover the next day.
