The Brotherhood

A blend of marica (gay, informal/affectionate in this context) and pandilla (gang/group of friends). Used affectionately within or about LGBTQ+ social circles.

Literally 'to drag oneself'. In interpersonal conflicts it means to demean yourself by begging or doing whatever it takes to win someone back.

Informal and slightly self-deprecating word for face, often used humorously when someone looks tired, rough, or not their best.

Refers to someone talking at length, usually about something the listener finds tedious. Meter una chapa / meter chapas means to lecture or rant at someone.

Augmentative of cagada (screw-up, mess). Implies a mistake with serious consequences. Used for emphasis in informal contexts.

Literally derogatory ('lowlifes'), but when addressed directly to an audience it is almost always ironic and affectionate, creating a sense of in-group familiarity.
