Meaning

The afterparty, the gathering that happens after leaving the bar or club, usually at someone's house. In Argentina, Chile, Mexico, and Spain, the after is where the night truly gets interesting. When the club closes at 4 or 5 AM but nobody wants to go home, someone suggests an after, and suddenly everyone piles into an apartment to keep the party going until sunrise or beyond. The after is legendary for being where the best stories and worst decisions happen.

Examples

We left the club and went to the afterparty until 8am.

The afterparty was better than the actual party.

A Paraguayan word for someone who is unpleasant, grumpy, or just plain bad-tempered by nature. The argel snaps at people, has no patience, and radiates a sour energy that makes you want to choose a different line at the supermarket or a different window at the bank. "Qué argel" is the standard Paraguayan sigh when you run into one.
