Escobar orders two new attacks

Colombian slang for bullets or a burst of gunfire. Used in informal speech in contexts of street violence. Not used in formal or standard registers.

A very common Colombian expression. 'No dar papaya' means not to give criminals or enemies an opportunity. Widely used as practical street-wisdom advice.

In this sense 'mamarse de algo' means to be completely tired of or done with something. Not to be confused with literal meanings. Widespread in everyday Colombian speech.

Literally 'to pound in a mortar', but used figuratively to mean tackling a task or problem head-on, sometimes with connotations of violence or force depending on context.

Used in Colombian Spanish to describe someone speaking or acting while emotionally worked up, often said to excuse harsh words said in the heat of the moment.

Euphemism for killing someone, particularly by shooting. Common in Colombian criminal slang. The literal meaning 'to turn on / to light' gives it its coded quality.

Informal Colombian term meaning to leave quickly or in a flustered, hurried state, often to escape a situation. Highly regional.
