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

/Sounds like "CHOH" (as in "chose") + "yah" (as in "yard")/

Meaning

In Guatemala, laziness or the urge to do absolutely nothing. That heavy feeling when you have to work or study but your body refuses to cooperate.

Ugh, I don't want to wash the dishes, I'll do it tomorrow.

Regional synonyms

In Peru, to catch someone red-handed, right in the middle of doing something they shouldn't be doing. You get "ampayado" when someone busts you in the act.
