/Sounds like "ehm" (as in "egg") + "bah" (as in "bar") + "LAHR" (as in "lava")/
To get swept up fast in feelings for someone, to fall hard before the head has had any say in the matter. In Chile and Argentina the embalado makes heart decisions long before logic checks in, which can lead to beautiful things or spectacular crashes.
“He fell for that girl in the first week and is already talking about moving in together.”
“Do not get too swept up, you just met her and you are already planning the future.”
/Sounds like "ehm" (as in "egg") + "bah" (as in "bar") + "LAHR" (as in "lava")/
To take off at full speed or throw yourself completely into something with no brakes. In Argentina and Chile, embalarse is going from zero to maximum in an instant: the car that accelerates uncontrollably downhill, or the person who commits to a project with everything they have and won't stop until it's done.
“He threw himself into the new project and hasn't stopped working on it.”
“The car took off downhill and lost control before the curve.”

Guambia
Money, cash, bills. In Colombia, guambias is the slang for the bills and coins you need to get through the week, perpetually running out and always needed for something urgent.
