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

/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 motorcycle taxi, the unofficial, informal transit system that keeps Dominican cities and towns moving. Motoconchos are everywhere in the Dominican Republic, weaving through traffic, essential for short trips where cars can't or won't go.
