Your word isn't here yet

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

/Sounds like "ah" (as in "art") + "GOO" (as in "good") + "hah" (as in "hard")/

Meaning

A cheapskate in Peru who never parts with a single sol and always has an excuse not to buy anything for anyone.

Examples

Don't be stingy, pay your share of the barbecue.

He's so cheap he won't even offer you a piece of candy.

Regional synonyms

Unconditional support, endurance, or diehard fan energy in Uruguayan and Argentinian Spanish. "Te banco" and "te hago el aguante" are synonyms for "I support you no matter what." The word has a double life: in soccer it's the fanatic backing of supporters ("aguante Peñarol"), and personally it's loyalty to friends in tough moments. A Rioplatense identity concept.
