  5. 5

    pillar

    to catch / to notice / to see / to understand
    expressioncolloquial~3× this episode

    In Colombian informal speech, 'pillar' means to notice, catch onto, or observe something. 'Pille' (imperative) is extremely common as a way of saying 'look' or 'check this out'. The meaning shifts by context but is always about perception or awareness.

    Pille la cara que puso cuando le dimos la sorpresa.Check out the face he made when we surprised him.

    dar papaya

    to make oneself an easy target / to leave an opening to be taken advantage of
    expressioncolloquial

    Distinctly Colombian expression. To 'give papaya' is to be careless enough that someone else exploits the opportunity. Often used to describe leaving valuables visible or putting yourself in a vulnerable position. Not guessable from its literal words.

    No camines solo de noche con el celular en la mano; no des papaya.Don't walk alone at night with your phone out; don't make yourself an easy target.
