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

/Sounds like "kah" (as in "car") + "CHEE" (as in "cheek") + "foh" (as in "foam")/

Meaning

In Colombia, a kid or young person who still lacks experience or maturity. Can be said with genuine affection or as a gentle dig at someone who acts younger than their age in a situation that calls for more seriousness.

Examples

That kid already wants to weigh in at the grown-ups' meetings.

Stop acting like a child and own up to what you did.

Regional synonyms
Bandera de Colombia
Sardino

A vulgar Mexican slang term for female genitalia. Strictly informal and crude. Worth knowing because "cajeta" also refers to a beloved Mexican caramel candy, which creates awkward moments if you use the wrong meaning in the wrong context.
