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

town criernoun (m)En el festival medieval contrataron a un pregonero para anunciar los eventos.At the medieval festival they hired a town crier to announce the events.escuchad
hear ye, harken (archaic second-person plural imperative)expressionformalThe vosotros imperative form of escuchar, which does not belong to everyday Latin American Spanish. Here it is used intentionally as a period marker, imitating the formal call of a colonial-era town crier. Hearing it signals theatrical archaism, not standard usage.

to ennoble, to elevate, to make great (non-standard coinage played as a running joke)expressionIn standard Spanish the correct verb is engrandecer. Engrandar is treated in the episode as a deliberate archaism or error attributed to the fictional historical figure, and its repeated use and defense as an 'acceptable word' is central to the episode's humor. Learners may encounter engrandecer in real contexts.
