/Sounds like "ah" (as in "art") + "poh" (as in "port") + "lee" (as in "lead") + "YAHR" (as in "yard")/

Meaning

To sleep deeply, especially for a long stretch or in an unexpected place. Buenos Aires lunfardo slang describing a sleep that is very hard to wake up from.

Examples

He has been out cold since two in the afternoon and there is no waking him up.

Word family

A super brief Uruguayan expression meaning 'it's fine,' 'ok,' or 'agreed.' It's the most compact affirmation in Spanish: one syllable and done, everything said.
