Answer 2

Cool Sally, knew about all those except for the azo one. I spent the first half of the day translating that "Principal Arriba" thing. Lots of interesting words that aren't in the dictionary. Gracias.

Answer 3

"carcelazo"

is an augmentative

word derived from cárcel, azo is used as a pejorative suffix, see here too spanishabout.com

You may have heard perrazo - a big mean dog.

Answer 4

You did not provide enough context. Follows is an excerpt and my translation which is probably not perfect but I hope it's good enough.

Precaución inútil: el último lameculos de la provincia sabia que apoderarse de esa moneda, teóricamente equivalente a cinco galletas de soda o a un puñado de duraznos, significaría algo peor que un carcelazo. La moneda llegó a ser una atracción. El pueblo, se acostumbró a salir de paseo para mirarla. Los enamorados se citaban alrededor de sus fulguraciones.

Useless precaution: the last brownnoser of the province knew that taking control of that money, theoretically equivalent to five soda crackers or a handful of peaches, would mean something worse than a (jail sentence or cell). The money turned out to be an attraction. The town became accustomed to going out for walks to look at it. The lovers arranged to meet around its flashiness.

fulgaration - (English) - flash of lightning

So it should mean flashiness there if that means anything to you, I don't what the story is about but it sounds interesting and I don't know if I got some wrong, never heard "carcelazo" and wonder if they mean "carcelero" or if that is not right.

Answer 5

Well I thought it was solar 'flares' but that doesn't fit your sentence!
