Also Rioplatense in origin, used by the same character. A strong way to dismiss something as idiotic or worthless. The equivalent register in Castilian Spanish would be gilipollez.

Very common intensifier in casual everyday speech. Can modify verbs directly or precede de + noun. Equivalent to muchísimo in spoken registers.

Used as a warning that someone is pushing their luck by being smart-mouthed or arrogant. Carries a clear implicit threat that consequences will follow.

English borrowings used ironically or mockingly are common in informal speech, especially by younger or street-culture speakers. The switch to English here adds a sardonic, slightly theatrical edge.

Originally a legal/commercial term for a type of partnership, but widely used in informal speech to mean doing something jointly or collectively, sometimes with a conspiratorial nuance.
