/Sounds like "kah" (as in "car") + "rees" (as in "reed") + "EE" (as in "eagle") + "nah" (as in "nacho")/
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.
“She's hopeless in the kitchen, she can't even fry an egg.”
“They call me domestically challenged because I hate cleaning.”

Quemarse las pestañas
To study or work intensely late into the night, burning the midnight oil. The expression evokes the historical image of a student hunched over their books by candlelight until their eyes gave out. In Spain it describes that hardcore dedication before a deadline or exam.
