The feminine form 'chingona' is increasingly reclaimed as an empowering self-descriptor by women.

Short for 'hacer un paro', meaning to do someone a favor or cover for them. Very common among young people and adults in informal settings.

'Billetazo' is an augmentative of 'billete' (bill/banknote), and the phrase describes obtaining something purely through the power of large sums of money. It carries a tone of cynical realism, implying that wealth bypasses normal rules or merit. Common in commentary about privilege and access.

A sarcastic set phrase used when someone shows up unexpectedly or after a long absence, implying their presence is so rare it seems miraculous. Tone ranges from playful teasing between friends to pointed reproach depending on context and delivery. It signals the speaker noticed and resented the absence.

A playful, affectionate diminutive/alteration of 'primo' (cousin), used among young people to address a cousin or close friend in a warm, informal way. The '-ux' suffix is a youth-register modification that softens or endearizes the word. Signals closeness and a relaxed, fun relationship.

A compound verb meaning to accustom someone (or oneself) to comfort, luxury, or special treatment to a degree seen as excessive or problematic. Often used as a gentle or ironic reproach when someone adapts too quickly to a privileged lifestyle. Reflexive use ('malacostumbrarse') is common.
