Gravity Falls
When Dipper and Mabel discover evidence that the reported town founder is a hoax, they set out to expose the historical cover-up and prove that Mabel's silliness is not a bad thing.

Literally 'to lower someone's smoke/fumes'. Used when someone is overconfident or putting on airs and another person acts to deflate that attitude. Common across Latin America in informal speech.
A fixed expression of relief. It cannot be translated word-for-word ('less bad' does not capture it). Used at the start of a sentence or alone to express that a bad outcome was avoided.
'Pena ajena' is embarrassment felt on behalf of someone else, equivalent to the German 'Fremdschämen'. The phrase 'me da pena ajena' means 'watching you embarrasses me' or 'I cringe for you'. Very common in everyday Latin American Spanish.
An old-fashioned exclamation of surprise or frustration, used here deliberately to mimic 19th-century pioneer speech. It is rarely used in everyday modern Latin American Spanish but is immediately understood as comic or archaic.
A mild, old-fashioned euphemistic exclamation. Like 'repámpanos', it is used in the episode to parody 19th-century speech. In modern usage it sounds deliberately quaint or humorous.
Short for the fixed phrase 'agua pasada no mueve molino'. When a speaker says 'eso es agua pasada', they are dismissing a past conflict or problem as no longer worth discussing.
Derived from 'aprovechar' (to take advantage of / to make use of). As a noun, 'aprovechado' refers to a person who exploits situations or others for personal gain without contributing. The negative connotation is strong and non-obvious from the verb alone.
