/Sounds like the English word "cring" + "eh" (as in "egg") + "AHR" (as in "art")/
To feel intense secondhand embarrassment from seeing or hearing something painfully awkward. An anglicism from 'cringe' that was quickly adopted across Spanish-speaking social media.
“I cringed watching their TikTok video.”
“That public love declaration made me cringe so hard.”

Empanado
Someone who is completely out of the loop, spacey, or slow to pick up on what is happening around them. Used in Argentina, Uruguay, and Chile. "Empanado" literally means "breaded" (coated in breadcrumbs), and the image works perfectly: this person's brain is wrapped in a thick layer of something that blocks all incoming information. They drift through life half a step behind.
