Join Hablaaa and add the expression no one else has documented.

/Sounds like "kah" (as in "car") + "lee" (as in "lead") + "GEH" (as in "get") + "bah" (as in "bar")/

Meaning

Extreme laziness, deep sluggishness, or the kind of boredom that paralyzes you completely in Venezuela. "Caligüeva" is that heavy, bone-deep apathy where even getting off the couch feels impossible.

Examples

I'm so lazy I don't even feel like cooking.

This Monday hit me with serious dead-weight laziness.

Regional synonyms

An Argentine intensifier meaning super, hella, or way too much. You put it before an adjective to crank it up, like 'very' but with way more colloquial punch.
