Benderama

Literally means 'stud horse' (a breeding stallion). When applied to a person it is playful or ironic flattery, implying physical attractiveness or virility. Common in informal Latin American speech.

In standard grammar, pasar can mean many things; in colloquial Latin American speech '¿me pasas tu teléfono?' is the unmarked, everyday way to ask someone to lend or hand over an object. The indirection of 'pass' softens a request.

Borrowed from French, this term is used throughout Latin America to describe a spectacular failure or collapse. It is stronger and more colorful than simply 'fracaso'.

Literally 'from cape to tail', this fixed phrase means completely or exhaustively. A learner who knows 'cabo' (cape/end) and 'rabo' (tail) would not naturally guess this idiomatic reading.

Literally 'eaten bread'. Used to say something was effortlessly simple. Equivalent to 'piece of cake' in English, but a learner who has not encountered this fixed phrase would likely miss the figurative meaning.
