/Sounds like "kah" (as in "car") + "GAH" (as in "garden") + "doh" (as in "door")/
Something extremely funny that makes you laugh uncontrollably, or a hilarious person. In Mexico it can also mean being scared or being a coward, depending entirely on context and tone.
“That video is so cagado, it made me cry laughing.”
“I was so cagado before the exam.”
“Don't be cagado, just jump off the bungee.”

Chirola
A coin or a small, insignificant amount of money in Argentina, Uruguay, and Chile. If something pays only chirolas, it barely covers your bus fare. The word captures the frustration of being underpaid or the absurdity of effort that earns almost nothing.
