modorro

Refers to someone who is groggy, dazed, or slow-witted, as if they are half-asleep or not fully aware. It originates from a condition in sheep that makes them act erratically, lose their way, or fail to recognize their young (in Spain, the related noun modorra specifically refers to the heavy sleepiness felt after a meal).

You are modorro, you do not understand, you do not get it. Being amodorrado is like being dazed.

Espiche

A clay container used to keep water cool. It has a handle on top and two openings, a large one for filling and a small, narrow spout for drinking in a stream without touching the lips to the vessel (this is a regional term for the traditional Spanish botijo).

This is the name given to the clay water jug in some villages of Extremadura, like Bienvenida. In some places the name is shortened to piche.
