Mogollón

I have heard ‘mogollón’ used a lot in Spain. Is it correctly used below:
• Juan, en serio, lo siento mogollón.

Many thanks in advance.

Sounds good, though in my country we'd use "un montón" or "un tocazo"

sabe mogollón de computadoras (ES) = sabe un tocazo de computadoras (AR)
lo siento mogollón (ES) = lo siento un montón (AR)

You're welcome!

ERRATA: donde dice "de computadoras" debe decir "sobre ordenadores"

Mogollón besides meaning heaps, lots, it also means sort of a quarrel, mess, confusion, scandal, any conflictive situation that is loud and dynamic.

he estacionado mi coche en la entrada de su garage y el tío ha montado menudo mogollón (ES) = le estacioné el auto en la puerta del garage y el tipo armó un flor de quilombo (AR)

So mogollón can mean a big stink in North American English.
