The Curse of the Onassis

Highly informal and sexually explicit. Used by women about themselves or about others. Not interchangeable with 'graciosa' (funny) outside of certain regional uses.

From 'pendón'. Specifically implies going out with the intention of casual sexual encounters, not just partying in general.

In everyday speech 'colocarse' usually means to get high on drugs, but here it is used in its older or more neutral sense of being placed in a job by someone. The context makes the meaning clear but the primary association for many speakers is the drug sense, creating a deliberate or unintentional double reading.

Literally 'to be burning'. Used to describe someone bursting with restless energy, desire, or drive, not physical heat. The emotional intensity is not deducible from the literal words.

When used sarcastically in an argument, 'tener valor' means to have the nerve or cheek to do something, not bravery. The ironic register is completely opposite to the literal meaning and depends entirely on tone and context.

From 'putón' (a strongly derogatory augmentative of 'puta'). Used here positively and pragmatically by characters who use it to mean dressing to attract clients or attention. The phrase is affectionately reclaimed in this dialogue though it remains vulgar in neutral contexts.

Literally 'to put straight'. Used to mean imposing order or discipline on someone who is out of line, not physical straightening.

A general idiom meaning to take a decisive step, used here specifically to refer to beginning gender transition. The gender-transition sense is entirely context-dependent.

Literally 'stiff'. In colloquial use it can mean broke (without money), physically rigid, or in urgent/dramatic contexts, collapsed or seemingly lifeless. The correct reading depends on context.

Used to describe someone who has unexpectedly taken up a habit or interest, often with a slight note of surprise or mild judgment. It signals that the activity is new and somewhat unaccountable.
