Time of Magic

Old-fashioned slang, largely associated with earlier decades of the 20th century and working-class Madrid speech. Rarely heard among younger speakers today but recognisable, and sometimes used for humorous or nostalgic effect.

'Montar un escándalo' and 'liarla' overlap in meaning: creating a messy or embarrassing situation. Often implies things getting out of hand publicly.

Idiomatic expression. 'Pájaro' literally means 'bird' but is used to mean a cunning or untrustworthy person. The full phrase signals that someone is dangerous, sneaky, or not to be trusted.

Literally anatomical, but used very widely in informal speech. Can express genuine admiration ('it takes guts') or ironic outrage ('the nerve of it'). Context and intonation determine which meaning applies.
