Join Hablaaa and add the expression no one else has documented.

/Sounds like "KWAHR" (as in "quack") + "soh" (as in "solo")/

Meaning

In Chile, an emotionally cold person who shows no visible reaction to anything. The word borrows the image of a crystal: clear, hard, and ice cold. Nothing moves them, not bad news, not drama, not anything.

Examples

He is completely ice cold, absolutely nothing moves him.

Anyone else would have cried at that news, but she did not even blink.

Regional synonyms

A lift or having someone drive you somewhere. It's an anglicism borrowed straight from English that's become completely natural in everyday Latin American Spanish.
