A Leap

Street slang for cocaine, widely understood in urban colloquial speech.

'Mazar' means to crush or pound; combined with 'hostias' it vividly means to give someone a severe beating. Very crude register.

A diminutive term of endearment that, depending on tone, can be genuinely affectionate or sarcastically dismissive. When used in a tense exchange it signals irritation dressed up as sweetness.

A fixed colloquial phrase meaning 'empty-handed' or 'with no evidence at all', often used in informal legal or investigative contexts to mean a case has no solid ground.

Originally a term for the person who assists a stallion during mating. In colloquial usage it has come to mean someone who handles unpleasant or underhanded tasks on behalf of someone more powerful, a fixer or enforcer.

Literally 'knight errant' from medieval chivalric tradition. Used ironically in modern speech to mock someone who acts as a self-appointed defender of others, often implying naivety or misplaced heroism.

Shortened form of 'cariño'. Used as a casual, slightly familiar form of address. Can be warm or, in a deadpan context, deliberately breezy and ironic.

Diminutive of 'raro'. In casual speech it describes someone who does not fit the usual mould, often said affectionately or in self-deprecating humour rather than as a harsh insult.
