Talking "Piocha" - "A todo mecate"

Hello, everyone.

Let me recall some old expressions already forgotten:

"Piocha"------the grandpas used this phrase while clenching one fist under the chin, like caressing an imaginary beard.
They meant cool, great, wonderful.

"A todo mecate"....the old people used this as a non very rude way to say "A toda madre"( f----cking awesome ).
They also used "A todo meter".

Nowadays, the "fresas" (yuppies) use the expression "pocamadre".
