TKO

Blend of 'follar' (to have sex) and 'amigo' (friend). Entirely informal and explicitly sexual; used candidly between close friends.

'Liarse a' + noun means to launch into something intensely. 'Liarse a tiros' specifically means to start shooting. The construction works with other nouns too: 'liarse a puñetazos' = to start throwing punches.

Can range from genuinely menacing (real thugs) to playfully affectionate depending on tone and context. When used approvingly it often refers to men who are rough around the edges but attractive.

Diminutive of 'ceporro' (blockhead). The '-illa' suffix makes it affectionate rather than genuinely insulting, used warmly between close friends.

Used figuratively to describe a charlatan or hollow persuasive talk: 'vendedor de crecepelo' = snake-oil salesman. Implies the person's words are worthless promises.

A highly offensive slur used as an ethnic insult. Included here because it appears as a deliberate taunt to provoke. Learners should recognise it as an insult, not a neutral term.
