/Sounds like "ah" (as in "art") + "kah" (as in "car") + "RAH" (as in "rapper") + "koo" (as in "cool")/

Meaning

A Paraguayan insult that comes from Guaraní "akã" (head) plus "raku" (hot), literally "hot head." It's used to describe a foolish, poorly thought-out person, or someone constantly doing reckless things without thinking about consequences. It's a common insult in arguments, scoldings, and everyday complaints. Not as strong as a curse word, but not affectionate either: it's delivered with real frustration.

Examples

Don't be a hothead, think before you act.

My brother is such an idiot.

Regional synonyms

A boring, low-energy, or mood-killing person who drains the atmosphere wherever they go. An aguado walks into a lively room and the energy visibly drops. They are the human equivalent of flat soda.
