/Sounds like "kah" (as in "car") + "lee" (as in "lead") + "GEH" (as in "get") + "bah" (as in "bar")/
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.
“I'm so lazy I don't even feel like cooking.”
“This Monday hit me with serious dead-weight laziness.”

Compadrito
A neighborhood tough who struts around acting brave and threatening but has nothing real behind the posturing. In Argentine and Uruguayan lunfardo, the compadrito is a classic figure tied to early tango culture: the flashy brawler who intimidates on his block but is ultimately all swagger and no substance.
