Friquear/Enfriquia(o)

This term means, 'to freak out' or 'freaked out.' They are really the English words: freaked or freak out, but Nuyoricans have long pronounced it with a Latin accent, and they have therefore become commonly used words in Spanish.

"Hay maria, no me a llegado los cupones, y estoy enfriquia."
"Oh Maria, my coupons haven't arrived and I'm freaking out."
