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

/Sounds like "KWEHL" (as in "quest") + "geh" (as in "get")/

Meaning

A mental fog or state of total absent-mindedness where your brain feels like it has drifted somewhere else. In Colombia and Mexico, when someone has a "cuelgue," they forget what day it is, lose track of things they just did, or show up to completely the wrong place.

Examples

I'm so out of it I can't even remember what I did yesterday.

How scattered are you? You got the whole day wrong.

To have sex, the vulgar but extremely common and direct way to say it in Argentina. No euphemisms, no beating around the bush, just straight to the point.
