For non-native English speakers. it might be good to know that pill
can mean a person who is a real bore. Maybe it's equivalent of
mosca cojonera although that sounds a little bit vulgar.
I think a person who is pill = Una person que es una postema.

Aqui se usa mucho. Por ejemplo:
"Vamos al cine con tal de que termines de asemblar el mueble."
¡no seas una postema!

¡Caramba, Poli! La primera vez que lo oigo. Suena bien. ¿Quiénes dicen postema? ¿Asemblar o ensamblar?

Ciertamente la palabra es ensamblar. Aprendí una palabra tambien.
Postema suena muy cómico porque en realidad una postema es un abseso

Mexico In the pills're called chochitos.!


A postema is a word very fun.

Example: Victor lest go to the street, please you don't be a postema.

Really in. it's the first time, I hear in my life that word.
