/ga-RU-a/
A fine, persistent drizzle typical of Buenos Aires weather. The garúa isn't real rain but it soaks you anyway. It's the porteño's rain — subtle but relentless, showing up uninvited and staying forever.
"I went out in the drizzle and arrived at work soaking wet anyway."
"This drizzle that won't stop is worse than heavy rain."

Jalado
Failed, as in flunking an exam or a course in Peru. When you get 'jalado,' it means you did so badly that not even grading on a curve could save you. The word literally means 'pulled,' as in pulled down or pulled out of the passing list.
