Worth remembering from this episode
Ordered by what we think matters most.
viejo
man, dude, buddy (used as an address between friends, not meaning "old man")expressioncolloquialUsed between male friends as a casual address in much of Latin America. The literal meaning is "old man" or "old," but in this friendly address register it carries no age meaning at all. Tone is warm and informal.

that's enough, enough already (firm command to stop something)expressioncolloquial"Ya" intensifies "basta" here by signaling that the limit has been reached. The phrase is not simply "enough" but carries the meaning that whatever was happening has gone on too long. Used by speakers who are losing patience.

to get out, to leave, to clear off (used as a command: "lárgate" = get out of here)expressioncolloquial"Lárgate" is a sharp command telling someone to leave immediately. It signals clear anger or dismissal. Stronger than "vete" but not as extreme as a curse.
