Episode 2

Borrowed and adapted from English 'stalk'. Used casually among young speakers to mean checking out someone's social media profiles without their knowledge. Not inherently sinister in everyday casual use.

Borrowed directly from English, used without translation by younger speakers. Refers to a warning sign about someone's character or behaviour, especially in dating contexts.

Literally 'to poison'. Used figuratively to mean deliberately planting negative ideas about someone in another person's mind.

Diminutive of 'pillo' (rogue, rascal). Said with a smile to someone who has just done something cleverly mischievous. Warm and playful in tone, not insulting.
