A Pharaoh to Remember

Literally 'dirty mouth.' Used to describe someone who habitually uses crude or offensive language. Common across Latin America as a mild insult or playful label.

An exclamation of surprise or mild shock. Widely used across Latin America as a softened version of a stronger oath. Appropriate in mixed or family company.

The verb 'meterse' used reflexively to mean getting tangled up in a situation, often a problematic one. The non-compositional flavor comes from the implication of blame or recklessness.

'Añicos' means shards or smithereens. The phrase 'hacer añicos' is a fixed expression; 'añicos' does not appear alone to mean 'smash.' Used literally or figuratively.

Derived from 'corazón' (heart), but its meaning as a strong intuitive feeling is not directly deducible. Very common in everyday Latin American speech when someone acts on instinct.
