Expressions to listen for

4

a esto lo llamonow THAT'S what I call...

colloquialAppears ~1× in this episode

Used to express satisfaction or mock-approval of something. The speaker dramatically labels a situation, often to be sarcastic or boastful.

¡A esto lo llamo un fin de semana bien aprovechado!Now THAT'S what I call a well-spent weekend!

si pescan el doble sentido

if you catch my drift / if you know what I mean

colloquialAppears ~1× in this episode

Used after a statement with a risqué or ambiguous meaning, inviting the listener to notice the innuendo. 'Pescar' literally means 'to fish' but in this fixed phrase means 'to catch on' or 'to get it'.

Me la pasé muy bien en ese viaje... si pescan el doble sentido.I had a really good time on that trip... if you catch my drift.

vientre hinchadobloated belly / beer gut

colloquialAppears ~1× in this episode

'Vientre' is the more formal/anatomical word for belly or abdomen. 'Hinchado' means swollen or bloated. Together in this context the phrase is used as a physical insult with a comedic tone, not a clinical description.

Después de las fiestas, muchos terminan con el vientre hinchado de tanto comer.After the holidays, many people end up with a bloated belly from eating so much.

hacerse notarto stand out / to make oneself noticed

Appears ~1× in this episode

A reflexive fixed expression. In context it refers to deliberately drawing attention to oneself, not accidentally standing out. The word 'notar' alone means 'to notice', so the reflexive construction shifts the meaning to deliberate self-presentation.

Llegó con un traje completamente rojo para hacerse notar en la fiesta.He showed up in an all-red suit to make himself stand out at the party.
