sasha
  32

In Spanish Sasha is used as a feminine name, although the spelling does not fit the language, as it corresponds to English. And it is not actually a name, but a hypocoristic, nor is it originally feminine, the confusion is by its ending in /a/, and it is not English but Russian, so the transliteration of 1057; 1072; 1096; 1072; the Spanish should be Sacha.

konny
  20

'Konny' is a feminine given name, or a diminutive hypocoristic Konstanze, which is less frequent than Constance, for which "Connie" is used more. There is an etymology that supposes an origin in the Latin cornu, us ("horn") or perhaps cornus, i ("dogwood" ornamental shrub), although the suffix -y is more English than Latin; and with that criterion it could even be by a diminutive of Kon, the Inca god of rain and south wind.

  
heleria

techo de cristal
  24

This phrase is used in situations where a person can climb positions within an organization and obtain a better position or a higher rank, but those who must promote it deny the possibility and put a limit, for reasons of gender, race, religion, for any reason that can not be publicly whitewashed since it is always discriminatory. That way you put a ceiling on your aspirations, which is real but does not look, as if it were "glass".

  
sacar de quicio
  24

It literally means just that: "to disengage, to take off the axis, from the pivot, from what it keeps fixed for operation", but it is used almost exclusively as a locution for its figurative sense; it would be equal to "driving someone crazy, making them lose their sanity."

pegarse un jabón
  23

In some cases it is a locution, but its meaning depends on the context and the interpretation that is given to paste and soap. The most literal is "taking a bath", for soaping up violently. In Spain it is used to soap for "flattering someone", and in this case it would be "himself". In lunfardo it is interpreted as "scaring", and comes from another meaning of 'soap' as "a head wash, a challenge, even a beating as a corrective" that mainly scares the boys.

  
me importa un pico
  38

This Chileanism is a variant of the Spanish phrase "me importa un pito" (sometimes exaggerated as "me importa tres pitos" ), and is a misinterpretation of "pito" in its meaning of "pico, pene", when in fact it means "pifano, whistle, who plays the instrument". Either way, it is very common to express a contempt using profane words, as in "I care a fuck", "I care about a shit", "I care about a sieso", . . . so the phrase does not lose its meaning. See import a pito and pínfano by origins .
