pellets de plástico: Pellets are small portions of a material that are usually rounded in shape and no larger than 5mm in diameter. Plastic pellets, therefore, are small pellets of that material that are used to transport it. Those balls can be used in plastic injection machines, 3d printers, etc. . The origin of the word pellet comes from the Latin pilula which is the diminutive of pila or ball. Pellets contribute to the circular economy as they are part of the recycling process.
aturuxo: Aturuxo is called an ancestral squeal of the Galician people. It was basically used to communicate between peoples. Used both in war and sexual claim or joy without more. It is believed that its origin comes from the Celtic peoples.
olentzero: The olentzero is a being of Basque mythology that currently brings Christmas gifts to children and adults throughout Euskalherria (Basque Village). The tradition instead places olentzero as a charcoal burner who came from the forest to announce the winter solstice and to bring coal to all the houses to heat them, light and heat. That is why the Basques congratulate Christmas as eguberri on which means good new days. It is assumed that bringing coal to homes to heat them degenerated into the Christmas Day with all kinds of gifts to both children and adults, as expected in a society of insatiable consumption. The figure of olentzero has displaced in Basque society both Christian traditions such as the baby Jesus and the Anglo-Saxon ones embodied by Santa Claus or Papanoel and absolute dominion throughout the world.
qatargate: Qatargate is the term used by the international press to refer to the scandal that has led to the investigation of the Belgian police into alleged bribes by Qatari money to influential members of the European Parliament to bring the World Cup to that country. In the qatargate has already proceeded with detainees and accused.
licanólogo: The word licanologist or lycanologist means expert in werewolves. It really is a mistranslation of a word in a recent tim burton series. There is another better expression for it lycanthrope.
lux aeterna: Lux aeterna means eternal light in Latin, it is also the last single that has released the Californian heavy music band Metallica with a wild sound that reminds a lot of its beginnings. Also Lux aeterna is the title of a horror film and a short story.
extronista: The truth is that it is curious how new words arise. A successful program on relationships invents a throne so that a tronista or a tronista who are the ones who sit there are entertained and courted by other muscular and rubberized participants so that in the end the tronista decides for one of them. Then from there comes the fame and to sell more magazines or programs the word Extronista is added to the curriculum as if it were something of value and in fact it is because there are millions of people who buy those things. So an Extronist is not someone with real ancestors or an exalted culture who deserved in his time to sit on a throne or something similar.
reduflación: Reduflation means increasing the prices of products without raising the official price of them. This is possible to do in packaged products that maintain their packaging but decrease the content. Reduflation therefore generates inflation by reducing content.
las 12 uvas: The 12 grapes that are eaten in sync with the 12 chimes that the clock gives when it arrives at 00: 00 on January 1, is a tradition in Spain followed by millions of Spaniards who gather in front of the TV or on the street. It is assumed that if you eat *the 12 grapes* in each chime the new year that comes in will bring you a lot of luck.
tqmpsqtnmqdlmm: A word, a modernity or a spawn of a new generation generated in the absurd social networks. *tqmpsqtnmqdlmm* comes to mean something like "I love you very much but I feel that you do not love me in the same way", as it is obvious the expression is used to explain a great disappointment for a love that is not corresponded in the same way or as it is due. It has been so great the expansion of this word (Similar to that of covid I would say : - ) ) that it is already used even to tag videos that show disappointments of any kind. From what I have verified it is used a lot in the social network of TIK-TOK and it is obvious that the RAE does not end up incorporating tqmpsqtnmqdlmm in its dictionary since its pronunciation is not possible.
log4j apache: It is the name of the software library on which a security hole has been detected that makes vulnerable millions of Internet servers that use this technology. *Log4j* means log creator for java, log and 4 which is for in English for in Spanish and J represents Java. Basically what this library does is record the activity that takes place on an Apache server. The failure category is 10/10 ultravulnerable.
alirón: Like the manguara de huelva is another expression derived from the literal transcription of the pronunciation of English expressions or words. At the end of the 19th century in the mining operations of the English in Bilbao, the workers of the mines when they found a new vein of iron began to celebrate it and to shout "all iron" which in English means all iron. The locals who were out there made their particular version and created the alirón that initially served to celebrate with cachondeo the titles of league or cup of the local team, the Athletic of Bilbao. As this great team won many titles in Spain, only with local players, the word alirón spread from then on like wildfire to celebrate the victory of any sports competition. It was very famous the battle cry bilbao, alirón alirón the athletic champion.
manguara: The manguara is a curious word that comes from the characteristic idiosyncrasy of Andalusia in Spain, specifically in the province of Huelva. The word began to be heard in the world-famous mines of Rio Tinto, the English workers who in the 19th century exploited them went after the day to the tasca and asked for "man water" which in English means burning water and whose pronunciation resembles something like "manguara". The locals with their characteristic joy began to adopt it in a funny way and since then in the area you can hear people asking for the manguara when they want a glass of brandy. There is another story very similar to this with the word alirón, in this case you have to move a little further north of Spain. .
nft: Once again we are faced with an abbreviation of an English words "No fungible token" that translated into Spanish means "Token No Fungible". They are basically digital pieces with certificate of authenticity and transaction history. Blockchain blockchain technology allows tokenizing, to simplify it although it is not the same digitize, anything from real life. Pictures, photos, contracts, mortgages, videos etc. . . . could be examples of NFT. Currently there have been million-dollar auctions of these tokens, remembering quite a lot the million-dollars that are paid in the art market. The difference is that with an NFT you can't be fooled and with a picture you can.
gadget: More unnecessary anglilicisms, gadget means accessory or device. Widely used to name those new electronic devices with which we are inundated.
softlanding: unnecessary anglilicism for soft landing in any discipline, aeronautics, financial etc.
guayar o guayando: In general cool or guayando rather means to be sad and crying. In Puerto Rico it can mean from glued dancing to grating a carrot for example or scratching the ceramic hob.
pirulear: Lollipop in Spain means cheating, since a pyrula is a trap, an illegal etc. . In Latin America it is used when someone goes dancing, it is due to its origin to a well-known telenovela, Pedro el escamoso.
mediocampo: Midfield is the most commonly used expression in football to talk about what happens in the football match in the middle of the field. In that area the midfielders play and there is usually talk of the work they do.
