/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.”
