Every Spanish speaking country has a lot of slangs. And inside one country there is even more slangs depending on the region xd.
For example in the south west of Spain we say "saborío", "chuminá", "resbalaera", "chuchurrío", "una burrá", "sieso", "echar cuenta", "un nota"... but someone from Valencia for example wouldn't understand those terms 🙄

@sdpeggins Yes, don't worry. There are neutral terms that are natural, used and understood everywhere, or almost everywhere at least.
For example "saborío" is "antipático", "chuminá" is "tontería", "resbalaera" is "tobogán", "una burrá" is "mucho" or "un montón", "echar cuenta" is "prestar atención", "un nota" is "un hombre/niño"...

@Paseante Mm, okay. But do you say "burrada" with the sense of "tontería" or with the sense of "mucho" (or both)?

A lot. Because each Spanish speaker country has its own slangs And every zone of the country people have their own slangs. I believe we have much more slangs.
