/Sounds like "trahm" (as in "tract") + "poh" (as in "port") + "LEEN" (as in "lead")/
A person or situation used as a strategic stepping stone toward a bigger goal. The trampolín serves its purpose: you extract what you need from it and move on. Used across Spain and Latin America with a slightly cold, calculated connotation.
“That job is a stepping stone to get into the big company.”
“She used him as a stepping stone to land the connections she was after.”

Cabrear
To infuriate someone or to be furious yourself. In Spain, being 'cabreado' means you're properly angry, not mildly annoyed but genuinely fuming. The word captures that specific combination of frustration and indignation that makes you want to slam things.
