to be disgusting, to gross someone outexpressioncolloquialA fixed verb phrase where asco (disgust, revulsion) functions as the object. Used to express strong physical or emotional repulsion toward something. Very common in everyday informal speech across Latin America.
Me da asco cuando alguien masca con la boca abierta.It grosses me out when someone chews with their mouth open.a fregar
expression of mild annoyance or frustration, roughly 'oh, come on' or 'dang it'expressioncolloquialUsed in several Latin American countries as a softened expression of irritation. The underlying verb fregar literally means to scrub or to bother, and in colloquial use it functions as a milder stand-in for stronger expressions of frustration. Tone is exasperated rather than truly angry.
¡A fregar! Se me olvidó el paraguas y está lloviendo.Dang it! I forgot my umbrella and it's raining.¡Quítenmela!
Get it off me! Take it away from me!expressioncolloquialA plural imperative formed with quitar (to remove) plus double object pronouns: me (from me) and la (it, referring to a feminine noun). The plural ustedes form is used here because the speaker is calling out to a group. This pronoun-stacking structure is very characteristic of Latin American Spanish speech.
¡Quítenmela, por favor! Esa araña me cayó encima.Get it off me, please! That spider landed on me.
