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

/Sounds like "kah" (as in "car") + "ree" (as in "reed") + "NYOH" (as in "onion") + "soh" (as in "solo")/

Meaning

An affectionate, physically expressive person who loves hugs, kind words, and warm gestures. Depending on context and frequency, it can be a genuine compliment or a polite way of calling someone clingy: the person who cannot let go and does not read personal-space cues.

Examples

The aunt is super affectionate, she hugs everyone who walks through the door.

That clingy guy won't give you a moment's personal space, not even at work.

Regional synonyms

Something stupid, a trivial thing, nonsense that doesn't deserve attention. In Argentina it's the noun that goes hand-in-hand with boludo to describe dumb actions or remarks.
