Pasodoble

Used between men to address one another informally. Does not imply machismo in most contexts, it functions like 'mate' or 'man' in friendly or casual speech.

Idiomatic expression meaning a remedy that works perfectly or immediately. Literally 'hand of a saint'. Used when praising something that solves a problem instantly.

Expresses that someone is putting on an act or presenting a false image of themselves. Often implies mild contempt for the pretence.

A strong, visceral way to say someone is very frightened. More intense than 'asustado'. Common in colloquial speech among younger speakers.

A term from Rioplatense Spanish used by an Argentine character in the dialogue, marking that character's speech as distinctly non-Castilian. Castilian speakers hear it as clearly foreign and somewhat colourful.

Used to emphasise a complete absence of something. Functions as a stronger, more emphatic alternative to 'no hay nada'.

'Leches' is a common euphemistic substitute for stronger terms. 'Mil leches' intensifies the expression. Softer in register than 'joder' or 'hostias', used to avoid the stronger forms in certain contexts.
