Pela 

This is a spanking, Latino style. Whether its a spanking of a child, adult or an apposing sports team, if you receive a pela, you're basically getting your ass whooped.

Pelas come in degrees of severity:
1. A small pela usually comes in the form of a hand slap.
2. A medium pela usually involves a leather belt or the power chord of any appliance closest to the person giving the pela.
3. Una gran pela (big pela) usually begins with something flying towards you like a chancleta, shoe, plate, silverware, or remote control, followed by the pelas described in #2 and #1. In addition, calling for help will only make it worse.

Cuando Pepito rompio el cuadro, recibio una gran pela de su mama.
When little Pepe broke the portrait, he got a major ass-whooping from his moms.

Friquear/Enfriquia(o)

This term means, 'to freak out' or 'freaked out.' They are really the English words: freaked or freak out, but Nuyoricans have long pronounced it with a Latin accent, and they have therefore become commonly used words in Spanish.

"Hay maria, no me a llegado los cupones, y estoy enfriquia."
"Oh Maria, my coupons haven't arrived and I'm freaking out."
