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

/Sounds like "kah" (as in "car") + "rees" (as in "reed") + "EE" (as in "eagle") + "nah" (as in "nacho")/

Meaning

A woman considered bad at or indifferent to housework and domestic tasks, used in Ecuador as a mild insult suggesting she's not traditionally skilled at home management. It comes from Quechua and carries a traditionalist bias, though younger generations use it more humorously than critically.

Examples

She's hopeless in the kitchen, she can't even fry an egg.

They call me domestically challenged because I hate cleaning.
