/Sounds like 'kah-CHEEM-boh'/
A first-year university student who doesn't yet know how college life works. In Peru, a cachimbo is the fresh-faced freshman navigating the chaos of campus for the first time — inexperienced, wide-eyed, and easy to spot.
"Los cachimbos siempre se pierden en el campus la primera semana."
"Era cachimbo y no sabía ni dónde quedaba la biblioteca. → The freshmen always get lost on campus the first week."
"I was a freshman and didn't even know where the library was."

A whole lot of something — a ton, a bunch, loads. In Colombia and especially on the Caribbean Coast, 'un cachimbo' means there's more than you can count. It's abundance described with casual coastal flair.
"Hay un cachimbo de gente en la plaza hoy."
"Me quedaba un cachimbo de comida en la nevera. → There's a ton of people in the plaza today."
"I still had loads of food left in the fridge."
