Money Heist

Adjectival intensifier derived from a vulgar noun but functioning primarily as an emphatic modifier in colloquial speech. Can express admiration, frustration, or emphasis depending on tone and context. When used to express admiration (as in calling someone 'el puto amo'), it is paradoxically complimentary. Extremely common in casual Castilian Spanish among adults.

Used to describe how a person, action, or idea is received by others. 'Caer bien' means to be liked or to be favourably received; 'caer mal' is the opposite. It describes an instinctive, emotional reaction rather than a rational judgement. The subject can be a person ('ese tío me cae bien') or an abstract concept ('esa noticia no va a caer bien').

Affectionately or dismissively describes someone who is absent-minded, irresponsible, or lacking in common sense. The chorlito is a small wading bird, and the expression implies a very small or unreliable brain. Often used within families or close relationships where the speaker can get away with the mild insult.

Nautical idiom meaning things are going extremely well, progressing smoothly and favourably. Used in everyday speech far removed from any maritime context. Can be used ironically when circumstances are clearly not favourable.

In criminal or police contexts, this verb shifts meaning from its literal sense to mean giving information to authorities or confessing under pressure. Equivalent to 'to sing' in English slang. The register is colloquial-to-informal and carries a tone of contempt or pressure when used by someone demanding information.

Idiomatic use of the word 'rosary' (a string of prayer beads) to mean a long, consecutive series of something, usually negative. Conveys that the items are many and linked together. Very common in spoken and journalistic Castilian Spanish.

Idiomatic expression from the image of pulling a loose thread. Used in investigative, journalistic, or problem-solving contexts to mean a small piece of information or clue that could unravel something larger. Natural and widely understood in everyday speech.
