/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.”

Compa
Short for compadre or compañero, used to address any friend or acquaintance you trust. In Mexico, compa is as natural and frequent as breathing, it comes out in every conversation without thinking.
