Bandera de Chile

/KWAH-tee-ko/

Strange, impressive or totally out of the ordinary — in a good or weird way. In Chile cuático is the word when something defies expectations and leaves you genuinely surprised.

Example

"That movie was totally wild — I didn't see any of that coming."

"The dude is seriously weird but I like him."

Regional synonyms:

Total indifference — not caring at all about something or someone in Chile. When you're "ni ahí," you couldn't care less. It's maximum apathy: you don't know, don't care, and aren't going to start now.
