Balenciaga vs Dior: The king of haute couture in Paris feels challenged by Dior's “New Look.”

A fixed idiomatic phrase expressing decisive superiority. The image of 'giving soup with a sling' is completely opaque and has no parallel in English.
Derived from the image of leaving a soldier behind a palisade in battle. Fully fixed; the literal words give no clue to the meaning.
Chiripa on its own means a stroke of luck. The phrase 'de chiripa' or 'estar de chiripa' signals that a success is undeserved or accidental rather than earned.
A vivid colloquial verb expressing intense enthusiasm or craving. Conjugates normally; 'les pirra' in the dialogue means 'they are crazy about it'.
The verb meterse followed by a profession or vocation is a colloquial construction meaning to enter that life or role. 'Meterse a monje' is a fixed colloquial phrase often used to suggest retreat from the world.
Puñetero/a is a mild expletive adjective expressing irritation or exasperation. Stronger than 'molesto' but not considered vulgar in most everyday contexts. Can also express reluctant admiration depending on tone.
