Dancin' Homer

An augmentative-pejorative formed from gordo. Used as a mild insult in informal speech, often between people who know each other, but can be genuinely offensive to strangers. Common across Latin America.

Literally means infested with lice, but figuratively it means someone who is cheap, grubby, or contemptible. The figurative use is far more common in everyday speech.

A fixed idiomatic phrase meaning to flirt with or make a romantic advance toward someone. The individual words (tirar = to throw, lance = a move or attempt) do not add up to this meaning transparently.

A playful, slightly mocking adjective for someone very tall and thin. The -ucho suffix adds a diminishing or unflattering tone. Widely understood across Latin America.

A fixed adverbial phrase meaning permanently or for the rest of one's life. Por vida alone can mean the same, but de por vida is the set form used for bans, sentences, memberships, and similar permanent conditions.

An old-fashioned but still recognized insult meaning a slow-witted or foolish person. Milder and more humorous in tone than stronger insults. Not region-specific but more common in older or literary registers.
