/Sounds like "ah" (as in "art") + "broh" (as in "bro") + "chah" (as in "chat") + "DOH" (as in "door") + "rah" (as in "rapper")/
A stapler, in Argentina and Uruguay. One of those everyday objects that each Spanish-speaking country decided to name its own way: "abrochadora" in the River Plate region, "grapadora" in Spain, "corchetera" in Chile. Same device, completely different names.
“Pass me the stapler, I need to hand this in right now.”
“The stapler got jammed again, as usual.”

Bajar el cirio
To get a serious dressing-down, called out harshly and directly in Mexico. When someone bajas el cirio on you, the person in front is furious and not holding back a single word. Usually comes from a boss, a parent, or anyone with authority over you.
