An old-fashioned mild exclamation. In this episode it is used deliberately as a period-appropriate interjection at a Renaissance fair. Outside of humorous or historical contexts it sounds quaint and dated in everyday Latin American speech.

A literary or philosophical metaphor, not everyday speech. When used in conversation it can sound poetic but also condescending, as it implies the people around someone are inferior. The episode uses it in an argument to make this condescension explicit.

'Amortiguar' means to absorb or cushion impact. The phrase is used both literally and humorously here. 'Amortiguar' is not a word most intermediate learners know, making the phrase opaque even though its structure is compositional.
