/Sounds like 'koor-DEH-lah'/
A chronic heavy drinker — beyond just someone who got drunk, but someone for whom alcohol is a daily fixture. In Argentina and Uruguay, curdela is more loaded than 'borracho'; it implies a sustained relationship with the bottle.
"El curdela del barrio ya apareció temprano con su vino."
"Se convirtió en un curdela después de perder el trabajo. → The neighborhood drunk showed up early again with his wine."
"He became a habitual drinker after losing his job."

Perol
Carro viejo y en mal estado que apenas funciona, se apaga solo y hace ruidos raros. En Venezuela un 'perol' es ese auto que debería estar en el chatarrero.
