to drop out, to withdraw from a competition or commitmentexpressioncolloquialLiterally 'to get down or off something', but used figuratively to mean withdrawing from a competition, a deal, or a plan. The meaning is non-compositional in context because it does not refer to any physical descent.

to crush it, to do something brilliantlyexpressioncolloquialShort for 'romper la competencia' or similar, but used as a standalone expression of strong encouragement or praise. Common in Argentine youth and sports contexts. The literal 'to break it' gives no clue to the actual meaning.

how frustrating, what a drag (expresses anger or irritation at an unfair situation)expressioncolloquialVery common in everyday Argentine speech to vent frustration. 'Bronca' literally means anger or grudge, but 'qué bronca' functions as a fixed exclamation. The intensity depends on tone; it ranges from mild annoyance to genuine fury.
¡Qué bronca! Entrené todo el mes y al final no pude competir por una lesión.How frustrating! I trained all month and in the end I couldn't compete because of an injury.
