Lu

From 'liar' (to tangle). 'Estoy muy liado' is the standard everyday way to say you're swamped or overwhelmed. Also means romantically involved with someone ('está liado con ella').

From 'cantar' in the sense of 'to tip off' or 'to stand out suspiciously'. 'Eso es un canteo' means that an action will attract unwanted attention or make something obvious to others, especially to police or observers.

Used to describe someone taking full charge of organizing an event or situation, sometimes with a hint of showing off. 'Montarse X' more broadly means to put together or arrange something.

Related to 'canteo'. 'Dar el cante' means to look out of place or to call attention to yourself in a way that is awkward or counterproductive.

A stronger and more abrupt way to say 'marcharse'. Can be used reflexively to say you yourself are leaving ('me largo') or to tell someone else to go away. Common in arguments.

A fixed expression using the imperfect subjunctive to dismiss an exaggerated comparison. 'Ni que fuera X' sarcastically deflates a situation: 'it's not as if this were X'. Very natural and common in casual dismissals.
