Join Hablaaa and add the expression no one else has documented.

/Sounds like "GOH" (as in "go") + "mah" (as in "mark")/

Meaning

A hangover after a night of drinking in Central America, that awful feeling of headaches, nausea, and regret. The goma is the punishment you pay the next day for overdoing it the night before.

Examples

I've got a terrible goma, I shouldn't have drunk so much last night.

Sunday goma is the worst of them all.

A scatterbrained or impulsive person who acts without thinking and consistently makes a mess of things through pure recklessness. In Colombia and Venezuela, the atolondrado is always rushing but somehow always the last to arrive, with everything upside down and no idea what went wrong.
