I Second That Emotion

Literally 'to gild the pill.' Used across Latin America to mean softening bad news to make it more palatable. Common in everyday speech.

Fixed phrase meaning to reconcile after a disagreement. Widely used in Latin American Spanish in both family and social contexts.

Literally 'at forced marches.' Used to describe something working or happening at maximum intensity or pace.

Diminutive of 'pobre.' Used to express sympathy or pity, sometimes with genuine tenderness, sometimes with light sarcasm depending on tone and context.

Exclamation of surprise or distress. Not considered highly religious in everyday use; it functions as a filler for strong emotion, similar to 'Oh my God' in English.

A set phrase used sincerely or ironically to close a remark. In spoken Latin American Spanish it often appears as a brief aside with mild irony rather than strict religious intent.
