/kon-he-LA-do/
A stingy, tight-fisted person who hates spending money in Panama. The 'congelado' (literally 'frozen') always has an excuse when the bill arrives — conveniently broke, suddenly distracted, or mysteriously disappeared to the bathroom at the exact right moment.
Example
"Don't invite Rodrigo, he's a tightwad who never pays."
"He played dumb when they split the bill."
