/Sounds like "ah" (as in "art") + "GWAH" (as in "Guam") + "heh" (as in "help")/
Showing off, bragging, acting like you have more than you actually do. In Venezuela and Colombia, making aguaje is all show with no substance, faking wealth, power, or importance you don't have.
“Cut the aguaje, everyone knows that car is borrowed.”
“It's all aguaje, he doesn't even have bus fare.”

Ponerse en pedo
To get drunk in Argentina and Uruguay. "Pedo" on its own means drunkenness (and also fart, but context is everything), and "ponerse en pedo" is the act of reaching that state. It is casual, cheerful, and very Rioplatense: Argentines and Uruguayans use it without any judgment, just describing a fact of social life.
