/Sounds like "kah" (as in "car") + "NEH" (as in "net") + "roh" (as in "row")/
Someone who has done time in prison or has experience with the prison world. In Argentina and Uruguay, a canero carries the mark of that experience: different rules, different codes, different eyes.
“That guy has the look of someone who has done time, watch yourself.”
“He came out having done time and is a different person now.”
/Sounds like "kah" (as in "car") + "NYEH" + "roh" (as in "row")/
Very strong, intense, or high in alcohol content. Something cañero hits you hard and fast, whether it's a drink, a person's personality, or the atmosphere of a place, it doesn't hold back.
“That rum is really strong, one glass and I already feel something.”
“The vibe at that bar is super intense.”

Ser un pelmazo
In Spain, an insufferably tiresome and persistent person who never reads the room. A pelmazo latches on, goes on and on about the same topic, and genuinely cannot tell that everyone around them checked out long ago. The word comes from "pelma," a dense sticky mass, which is exactly how it feels to be around one.
