/Sounds like "cla" (as in "clap") + "va" (as in "lava") + "dee" + "sta" (as in "star")/
A soccer player who dives and exaggerates contact to fool the referee into calling a foul. The word literally means "diver" (as in Olympic diving), which is the perfect metaphor for someone who throws themselves to the ground with theatrical flair over the slightest touch. Mexico's version of calling someone a flopper.
"Otra vez se tiró ese clavadista, ni lo tocaron. -> That diver went down again, nobody even touched him."
"No seas clavadista, apenas te rozó y ya estás revolcándote. -> Don't be a diver, he barely touched you and you're already rolling around."

Ahora
En Colombia "ahora" puede significar "más tarde" o "en un rato", no necesariamente en este instante. Cuidado con la confusión: si un colombiano dice "ahora voy", puede que tarde un buen rato en llegar.
