/Sounds like "KAH" (as in "car") + "boo" (as in "boot") + "lah" (as in "lava")/
A lazy cheater who always looks for shortcuts without putting in any effort, preferring to copy rather than study. In Mexico, a 'cábula' always finds a way to do nothing.
“He's such a cábula, he always cheats on exams without getting caught.”
“Don't be cábula and study like everyone else.”
