Capítulo 7

Historically referred to the young son of a wealthy landowner. When used dismissively today, it implies someone who has never had to work hard and throws their privilege around. Carries class resentment.

Used when someone is refusing to accept or process a fact. Always implies some degree of exasperation on the speaker's part.

Implies living or acting without constraints or interference from others. Positive connotation, often said with a sense of pride or relief.

Literally 'to paint nothing'. Used when someone feels they are out of place in a situation or that their presence or opinion is not needed or relevant.

Used when someone needs to mentally accept an unwelcome reality. Softer than a direct command to accept something.

Equivalent to 'echar de menos' and used interchangeably in most registers. Both are natural and common.

Literally means 'to scrub' or 'to rub hard'. Figuratively, it means to remind someone of something unpleasant repeatedly or to gloat. Always implies a degree of cruelty or satisfaction at another's expense.

In this sense, commonly heard as 'vacilar' (the full verb form is 'vacilar'). The dialogue uses '¿me estás vacilando?' meaning 'are you messing with me / taking the piss?'. Very common in informal speech, especially among young people.
