Join Hablaaa and add the expression no one else has documented.

/Sounds like "ah" (as in "art") + "FREH" (as in "fresh") + "choh" (as in "chose")/

Meaning

In Venezuela, a worthless person or the deadweight of the group. The word comes from "afrecho," the bran or chaff left over after milling wheat: the leftover waste once the good part is gone. Applied to a person, it means someone who takes up space and contributes absolutely nothing.

Examples

Don't bother with him; he's the deadweight of the whole team.

They called him useless to his face and he walked off absolutely furious.

Regional synonyms

A hangover in Ecuador, that awful feeling with headaches, nausea, and regret after a night of drinking. It's a Quechua word that Ecuadorians use on the daily.
