Meanings sorted by:

trabacaciones: It is a neologism that unites the words "work" ("paid occupation") and "vacation" ("rest period from a job"). It is a particular case in which someone takes time on vacation from their usual task, but uses it to do another job, or even the same, as it can be for a journalist to travel to another city and take advantage of the fact that he is there to do interviews, research or photographs.
sofofilia: It is an ingenious neologism for the taste for accumulating data or information. It has the same etymology of philosophy, but with its components reversed; which is also a whole definition, because the first gathers data without analyzing it, and the second studies the information to organize it.
profundo: That has depth, depth, that is or penetrates to the innermost part of something. It has Latin origin in pro ("advance, forward") and fundus, i ("background, inheritance, totality").
piscina: 1º_ Ornamental water pond in gardens, with fish and decorative plants. From the Latin pool, ae ("fish tank, natatorium"), for pisces ("fish"). 2º_ For the previous one, any recreational or sports swimming pool, which extends even to constructions with water enclosures for public toilet.
hiemal: Relative to winter. It comes from the Latin hiemalis, as an adjective derived from hiems, hiemis ("winter").
merced: It has various uses in Spanish, but all are associated in some way. It means "gift, prize, benefit, reward, will (to give something)". It comes from the Latin merces, edis ("reward"). 2º_ It was a courtesy title to address someone who might not have one of their own but deserved respect.
adolescente: It is said of the person who is in adolescence, at the age between childhood and adult youth. From the Latin adolescens, entis ("which is growing") and was used to name young people up to the age of 25.
abstemio: Who does not drink alcoholic beverages. It is formed by the Latin voices ab- ( "negative prefix" ) temetum , i ( "alcoholic beverage" ) .
yegua: 1º_ Female of the horse . It comes from the Latin equa, ae, with the same meaning. 2º_ Pejorative way of calling a woman, comparing it with a rough and tricky animal. See filly ("young and vital woman"), paica (lunfardo).
oráculo: It is related to the answers or predictions that come from a divinity, it can be the same word or prophecy, the place where it is consulted, or the person who serves as a means to convey the message. By extension of this last meaning it is also said of someone with great wisdom and who imparts his knowledge. It comes from the Latin oraculum, formed by the verb orare ("to speak, sometimes to pray") with the suffix -culum castellanizado, which in this case would not be a diminutive but an instrumentalizer.
con los brazos abiertos: It is a locution that refers to the attitude of receiving with a hug, with the attitude of welcome.
burro sin mecate: I don't know if it really is a voiceover, because the comparison with the "beast without rein or bondage" is quite well understood, such as "going aimlessly or without control". See donkey (pack and draft animal), without (preposition for "lack, lack" ), mecate ("rope of maguey") .
hijo del rigor: It is said of a person who has responsibilities or due behavior, but does not fulfill them on his own initiative and must be forced by someone of higher hierarchy. He is the one who only responds under threat of punishment.
dar el mal paso: This phrase is used as "getting out of the way, losing one's way", but it is mostly figuratively speaking, by the "path of ethics and morals". In times with more sexual repression it was used as "throwing away the flip-flop", although the "bad step" could be taken for love and the worst consequence was to get pregnant. There are more similar words and phrases, such as "limping" ("renguear"), which led to "cojer" ("fornicate"), although the RAE does not accept this etymology and recommends "take". See casquivana, "light of helmets"
vivir de arriba: It is living maintained, without working, as if all resources fall from the sky. See garrón, stick sleeves, "bread and tablecloths".
dejarse algo en el tintero: It is a locution associated with exposing an idea omitting some concepts, rather out of distraction or interest than ignorance. It comes from letters, newspaper articles, historical novels, which in other times were the main way of transmitting information or even education, and which were written with a pen, wetting the tip in the inkwell. It's actually an irony, like "something was left unwritten." See other versions already published such as keeping someone something in the inkwell, leaving someone something in the inkwell.
ligero de casco: It's a euphemism for hollow head. See light ("light weight"), helmet ("head, skull"), "light helmets".
dormir el sueño de los justos: The phrase refers to death, taken from a biblical context where the righteous sleep in their graves awaiting their resurrection. All the others are translative interpretations, like a boxed law that eternally awaits approval, or some more literal one about a quiet sleep.
veldad: Error by beauty, truth, veleity, verbs/bandage, verbs/velead, . . .
desenculo: Error by some inflection of the verb to untangle , or to unsculate , or to disassociate , . . . perhaps encular or enchular , although there is a lot of difference in letters. See prefix des- , for some negative construction .
