/Sounds like "koh" (as in "coat") + "MEHR" (as in "met") + "seh" (as in "set") + "LAH" (as in "lava") + "LOOZ" (as in "loop")/
To take forever on something simple, or to vanish and reappear much later than expected. In the Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico, whoever "se comió la luz" always has a vague excuse for how a quick errand turned into a two-hour disappearance.
“Where were you? You took forever on that simple errand.”
“The technician completely disappeared and showed up three hours late.”

Chendo
An Ecuadorian expression for "just kidding" or "I did not mean that." You drop "chendo" to clarify that what you just said was not serious, especially when someone took it the wrong way. The quick verbal safety net you reach for when a joke lands badly.
