Worth remembering from this episode
Ordered by what we think matters most.

to scold, to nag, to tell offverbMi mamá me regañó porque llegué tarde a cenar.My mom scolded me because I arrived late for dinner.niño interior
inner childexpressionA fixed term from the self-help and pop-psychology world. Used in this episode as both a genuine therapeutic concept and satirical target. The phrase is non-compositional in practice: knowing 'niño' and 'interior' does not tell you it refers to the psychological concept of unresolved childhood emotions.
El terapeuta le pidió que conectara con su niño interior para entender sus miedos.The therapist asked him to connect with his inner child to understand his fears.haz lo que sientas
do what you feel, follow your feelingsexpressioncolloquialUsed throughout the episode as a self-help mantra. While the individual words are transparent, the phrase functions as a fixed cultural slogan within the episode's satirical framing, and understanding it as a catchphrase rather than ordinary advice is key to the comedy.
En ese taller de creatividad, la consigna era: haz lo que sientas y no te censures.In that creativity workshop, the motto was: do what you feel and don't censor yourself.deshacerse de
to get rid ofverb phraseFinalmente me deshice de toda la ropa que ya no uso.I finally got rid of all the clothes I no longer use.vergüenza
shame, embarrassmentnoun (f)Sintió mucha vergüenza cuando se equivocó frente a toda la clase.He felt very ashamed when he made a mistake in front of the whole class.crianza
upbringing, child-rearingnoun (f)La crianza de los hijos requiere mucha paciencia y dedicación.Raising children requires a great deal of patience and dedication.cómete mis calzones
eat my shorts (a defiant dismissal)expressioncolloquialA fixed catchphrase of defiance or dismissal. The literal words (eat my underwear) give no hint of the social function, which is pure provocation directed at an authority figure or rival.
Cuando el árbitro lo expulsó, el jugador murmuró: «¡Cómete mis calzones!» y salió del campo.When the referee ejected him, the player muttered, "Eat my shorts!" and walked off the field.metieron la pata
they screwed up, they put their foot in itexpressioncolloquialFrom the idiom 'meter la pata', meaning to make a blunder or serious mistake. The image of sticking a leg/foot into something conveys no literal message about the actual meaning.
El equipo metió la pata al anunciar el producto antes de que estuviera listo.The team screwed up by announcing the product before it was ready.aptitud
aptitude, qualification, skillnoun (f)El jefe cuestionó sus aptitudes para el puesto de gerente.The boss questioned his qualifications for the management position.
