Bandera de Chile

/ka-GWIN/

Gossip, a rumor, or a scandalous situation in Chile. The 'cagüín' is the story everyone wants to hear even though nobody knows exactly how it started. If there's a cagüín, there's drama.

Example

"Didn't you hear about the office drama?"

"A huge scandal broke out when the truth came out."

Regional synonyms:

Outshining someone with your physical appearance, presence, or superior attractiveness without even trying. From gym and fitness culture where your mere existence makes everyone else look worse by comparison. It's the same English internet slang term adopted into Spanish, especially popular among younger guys obsessed with fitness and self improvement.
