/Sounds like "KOOR" (as in "cool") + "dah" (as in "dart")/
A drunken state, a bender. In Argentina, Uruguay, and Chile, "curda" refers both to a specific episode of heavy drinking and to someone who has been at it for a while. If someone shows up with a "curda" they can barely string a sentence together.
“He got absolutely hammered at the wedding.”
“He showed up so drunk he could barely speak.”
/Sounds like "KOOR" (as in "cool") + "dah" (as in "dart")/
Drunkenness, or the state of being drunk. A classic lunfardo term from the River Plate region (Argentina and Uruguay). "Agarrar una curda" means getting properly loaded, and calling someone a curda means they have clearly had way too much. The intensified form "curdela" signals an even more advanced state of intoxication.
“He showed up home completely wasted.”
“Don't pay attention to him, he's drunk off his head and talking nonsense.”

De la cresta
In Chile, an intensifier meaning "extremely" or "incredibly." Can also signal something far away or hellishly bad depending on tone. It cranks whatever follows up to the max.
