Annoying, off-putting, or the kind of person who grates on your nerves without realizing it. In Colombia and Venezuela, calling someone chocante means their presence is uncomfortable — their attitude, tone, or behavior just doesn't sit right.
"Esa actitud tuya es muy chocante, bájale un poco."
"Hay algo en ese tipo que me parece muy chocante. → That attitude of yours is really off-putting, tone it down."
"There's something about that guy that really rubs me the wrong way."

"I can't stand her, she's insufferable."
Persona o cosa antipática, molesta o que cae mal. Alguien chocante sabe exactamente cómo irritar a los demás.

Desparche
Estado de aburrimiento total, no tener absolutamente nada que hacer ni plan alguno. En Colombia 'desparche' es lo opuesto a 'parche' (reunión con amigos).
