/Sounds like "KWAH" (as in "quack") + "tee" (as in "tea") + "koh" (as in "coat")/
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.
“That movie was totally wild, I didn't see any of that coming.”
“The dude is seriously weird but I like him.”

Presentismo
The habit of showing up to work just to be seen, without actually being productive. A presentista arrives early, leaves late, and gets very little done, but never misses a chance to be noticed by the boss. Widely criticized as a management problem in Spain, Argentina, and Mexico, where face time often matters more than results.
