Examples

I'm so pissed off, they canceled my flight without any notice.

Don't talk to him right now, he's been furious with his boss since yesterday.

/Sounds like "choh" (as in "chose") + "reh" (as in "red") + "AH" (as in "art") + "doh" (as in "door")/

Meaning

To be conned or sweet-talked into believing something completely false. In Mexico, when someone "chorea" you they played you so smoothly you did not even notice while it was happening. Pure manipulation with a smile and no hard feelings asked.

Examples

No way, you got played badly, nothing he told you was true.

That guy is just out here conning people, don't believe anything he promises.

A Paraguayan word for someone who is unpleasant, grumpy, or just plain bad-tempered by nature. The argel snaps at people, has no patience, and radiates a sour energy that makes you want to choose a different line at the supermarket or a different window at the bank. "Qué argel" is the standard Paraguayan sigh when you run into one.
