/Sounds like "ahr" (as in "art") + "HEHL" (as in "help")/
A Paraguayan word for someone who is unpleasant, grumpy, or just plain bad-tempered by nature. The argel snaps at people, has no patience, and radiates a sour energy that makes you want to choose a different line at the supermarket or a different window at the bank. "Qué argel" is the standard Paraguayan sigh when you run into one.
“The salesperson is being really argel today, you are better off not even asking him anything.”
“My mother-in-law is honestly the most argel person I have ever met.”
