Estampanarse

A regional term from Salamanca for crashing or slamming into something with extreme force. It implies hitting a surface so hard that you are not just stuck to it, but completely flattened or embedded (the term is a play on the word for breaded, implying you are spread out like a cutlet).

I Estampanarse against a wall because my bike brakes failed.

Anarigar

A sarcastic term from Salamanca describing a face-plant or falling nose-first. It humorously frames the accident as a specialized technique of using nasal muscles to break a fall, though it usually results in a bloody broken nose. (Salamanca is a city in Spain).

I did not see the step and I anarigué against the door.
