Add a word/Sounds like "ah" (as in "art") + "GWAH" (as in "Guam") + "doh" (as in "door")/
Meaning
A boring, low-energy, or mood-killing person who drains the atmosphere wherever they go. An aguado walks into a lively room and the energy visibly drops. They are the human equivalent of flat soda.
Examples
“Don't invite that buzzkill, he brings everyone down.”
“The get-together was really flat, not a single funny moment.”

/Sounds like "ah" (as in "art") + "GWAH" (as in "Guam") + "doh" (as in "door")/
Meaning
Boring, bland, completely lacking energy or excitement. In Mexico, aguado describes a dead party, a person with no sense of humor, or a watered-down drink. The opposite of fun: you showed up expecting a party and got elevator music.
Examples
“The party was totally dead, we left before midnight.”
“Don't be a buzzkill, come to the concert.”

Minga
+2
A communal voluntary work tradition from the Andes where an entire community comes together to help one of its members with a big task, like building a house or harvesting crops. Rooted in pre-Hispanic culture, the minga is still alive in Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, and Colombia as a living expression of collective solidarity.
