/Sounds like "kah" (as in "car") + "rah" (as in "rapper") + "HEE" (as in "he") + "yoh" (as in "yoke")/
In Costa Rica, an affectionate word for a kid or little one. It comes from "carajo" but has completely lost any vulgar edge and become an everyday term of mild endearment, used by parents, neighbors, and relatives to describe children with warmth or that light 10pm exasperation.
“This little one won't fall asleep and it's already ten at night.”
“The neighbor's kids are always out there playing soccer in the street.”

Akaraku
A Paraguayan insult that comes from Guaraní "akã" (head) plus "raku" (hot), literally "hot head." It's used to describe a foolish, poorly thought-out person, or someone constantly doing reckless things without thinking about consequences. It's a common insult in arguments, scoldings, and everyday complaints. Not as strong as a curse word, but not affectionate either: it's delivered with real frustration.
