/Sounds like "ah" (as in "art") + "gwahn" (as in "Guam") + "TAHR" (as in "tar")/
In Venezuela, to wait or be patient, used most often as "aguanta" to tell someone to hold on or pause. One of the most-used fillers to slow someone down or ask for a moment.
“Aguanta, I'm almost done and then we'll head out.”
“Give me a momentico - I need to take this call.”

Sociolismo
A Cuban portmanteau of "socio" (buddy) and "socialismo" (socialism). It describes the practice of getting things done through personal contacts rather than official channels, which in Cuba tends to work far more reliably than going through the system.
