/Sounds like "ehn" (as in "egg") + "gwah" (as in "Guam") + "yah" (as in "yard") + "BAH" (as in "bar") + "doh" (as in "door")/

Meaning

Hungover, suffering through the after-effects of the previous night's drinking. In Colombia the "guayabo" collects everything you drank the night before, with full interest. Being enguayabado is a full-body reminder that last night was probably a bad idea.

Examples

He woke up so hungover he could not make it to work or even answer his phone.

I am seriously hungover, I need broth and an aspirin right now.

Meaning

Brutally hungover after a night of drinking in Colombia. It's that miserable state where even sunlight hurts, your stomach's in full rebellion, and you swear you'll never drink again.

Examples

I'm so enguayabado, I shouldn't have mixed aguardiente with beer.

He showed up enguayabado to work and couldn't get anything done.

The best cure for being enguayabado is a chicken broth.

To really like something, to think it's awesome, or to be totally on board in Spain. It's the most quintessentially Spanish verb for expressing approval and enthusiasm.
