/Sounds like "kah" (as in "car") + "lee" (as in "lead") + "KAHN" (as in "car") + "toh" (as in "toll")/
In Colombia, something extremely solid, well-built, and made to last. Originally referring to a traditional lime and stone masonry technique, the strongest construction method around. Calling something "calicanto" is the highest compliment for durability, whether you are talking about a house, a friendship, or a person's character.
“That friendship is built like stone, nothing can break it.”
“They built that house to last forever, solid as a rock.”
