Dichología: Slang Ilustrado

Dichología is an illustrated dictionary of Mexican and Latin American slang: 1,328 sayings (dichos) explained with the seriousness of a linguist and drawn with the literal-mindedness of an obedient child.

Please note: the app is in Spanish. Meanings and examples are written in Spanish, and every saying comes with its word-for-word English translation. It is made for Spanish speakers and for learners who already read Spanish comfortably.

Every entry has: • Its meaning, explained seriously (which is the funniest thing you can do to it). • Its literal English translation — "colgar los tenis" = "to hang up the sneakers". • A real-life example, the kind people actually say. • An illustration that takes the saying at its word.

A DICHO EVERY 2–3 DAYS Turn on notifications and you get an illustrated saying you haven't read yet. Like a desk calendar, but rude. You choose the frequency, the time and the spice level.

SYNCS ACROSS YOUR DEVICES What you've read on your iPhone won't come up again on your Mac, and the other way around. "Otro, al azar" (another one, at random) only deals sayings you don't know yet, until you've read them all. Your favorites travel too, through iCloud.

FROM FAMILY-FRIENDLY TO UNCENSORED Sharing with the family? Leave the filter on "Familiar". Just among friends? Switch it to "Sin censura" and may God help you.

ADIVINA (GUESS) A multiple-choice game to find out whether you really know them, with streaks and a high score.

WIDGET The saying of the day on your Home Screen, without opening the app.
