Common in Latin American Spanish to describe someone or something tiresome or persistently irritating. Softer than 'molesto' in everyday use and often used with mild affection or exasperation.
Fixed verbal phrase. 'Dar algo por sentado' means to assume something is guaranteed or to not appreciate its value. Widely used across Latin America.
Extremely common in Latin American Spanish speech. Depending on intonation, it can signal impatience, an invitation to demonstrate something, or a transition in conversation. Looks like 'to see' but functions as a discourse marker.
Describes a person or group that stirs up trouble or causes disorder. Often used by authority figures to dismiss protesters or unruly groups.
A humorous misspelling and mispronunciation of 'inmigrante' used in the episode to signal ignorance or prejudice in the speaker. In real life, mispronouncing or misspelling words associated with a group is a recognized way of signaling contempt or carelessness.
A playful or satirical coinage built on 'Estados Unidos'. It mirrors the kind of awkward self-referential term that appears when 'American' is questioned as a descriptor, and is used here for comic effect to mock nationalist sloganeering.
