/Sounds like "kah" (as in "car") + "lehn" (as in "let") + "TAHR" (as in "tar") + "SEE" (as in "see") + "yah" (as in "yard")/
To "warm the chair" at work: showing up every day without actually contributing anything useful. The classic office dead weight who arrives early, stays late, and somehow keeps their job while producing zero real results. Widely used across Spanish-speaking countries.
“That employee has been warming a chair for years and nobody fires him.”
“I didn't come here just to occupy space, I came to actually get things done.”

Laberinto
A person who overcomplicates everything with twisted logic and confusing explanations, or a situation that has no clear way out. In Venezuela calling someone a "laberinto" means their way of talking or acting creates more confusion than clarity.
