/Sounds like "kah" (as in "car") + "BOO" (as in "boot") + "yah" (as in "yard")/
In Colombia and Ecuador, a difficult situation or commitment that is hard to get out of. Like being tied up with a cabuya rope, being "en la cabuya" means something has you trapped with no easy escape, usually debt, a bad contract, or a complicated relationship.
“He's completely stuck with those accumulated debts he can't pay.”
“He got himself into a mess with that contract and now he doesn't know how to get out.”

Qué cagado
Something really funny, hilarious, or entertaining that makes you burst out laughing uncontrollably. In Mexico it's the go-to expression when something genuinely cracks you up.
