/Sounds like "ah" (as in "art") + "weh" (as in "west") + "BAH" (as in "bar") + "doh" (as in "door")/
To feel sad, drained, or completely low on energy in El Salvador and Honduras. "Ando ahuevado" means you are in a shutdown mode: not wanting to talk, not wanting to go out, everything feels heavy. Not a dramatic crisis, just that everyday slump after a rough day, bad news, or a week of bad sleep.
“I got home from work totally drained, I don't want to talk to anyone.”
“Not getting the promotion after all that effort really brought him down.”
/Sounds like "ah" (as in "art") + "weh" (as in "west") + "BAH" (as in "bar") + "doh" (as in "door")/
In Central America, timid, spineless, or completely frozen when action is needed. The ahuevado is the person who stands there with their mouth open while life calls for a move. Used in Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, and Costa Rica.
“No seas ahuevado, ve y dile lo que piensas de una vez.”
“Do not be a coward, go tell her what you think right now.”
“Se quedó bien ahuevado cuando le habló la chica y no supo qué decir.”
“He totally froze when the girl talked to him and did not know what to say.”

Huachafo
Tacky, in bad taste, or exaggeratedly showy without any real elegance. In Peru, huachafo describes anything that tries too hard to look refined but ends up looking ridiculous: flashy without substance, loud without style, expensive-looking without the class.
