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

/Sounds like "kahr" (as in "car") + "GAHN" (as in "garden") + "teh" (as in "ten")/

Meaning

A person who is exhausting and draining to be around, always complaining or making things heavy. A cargante kills the vibe without even trying, turning any hangout into an unsolicited therapy session.

Examples

He is such a drag, always complaining about something.

Stop being so insufferable, just relax a little.

To have an intense crush, to be totally smitten and thinking about someone all day long. It's the social media anglicism that young Latinos adopted as a verb for that romantic obsession.
