A straightforward kinship term included here because English-speaking learners sometimes misparse 'tío' as 'dude/mate' (a usage common in some varieties) and miss that here it is a genuine family title combined with 'abuelo'. In this dialogue it is always a proper form of address to an elder relative.

An affectionate or mildly dismissive term for a young person who is seen as insignificant or mischievous. Older speakers use it toward younger ones without strong hostility. The meaning cannot be guessed from its components.

Fixed phrase meaning to do something in an impressive or exaggerated manner. The literal reading ('to the big') does not convey the idiomatic sense of excess or showiness.

Describes an immediate, complete stop, whether physical or figurative. 'Seco' here does not mean 'dry' but carries the sense of sharpness or abruptness, which a learner cannot derive from the literal meaning.
