PIJOS

Pijos have, or appear to have, a lot of money. Right now in Spain, this can get resentment from the other tribes. Pijos can be spotted by their designer labels, side partings and expensive watches. They might also be wearing the Spanish flag.
Like the English word “posh“, pijo can be used in both a negative and positive way. It can mean elegant and refined, or snobbish.
The English version might be “preppie“, while in Mexico they say “fresa” (strawberry)!
Expressions

“O sea…” : “Let´s say…”

“¡súper guay!”: “¡super cool!”
But the word pijo spices up many sentences..
“Que pijos!”  : What the hell?!
“No entiendo un pijo.”: I don’t understand a thing.
“Qué pijos haces aqui?” : What the hell are you doing here?
