/Sounds like "GOHR" (as in "go") + "doh" (as in "door")/

Meaning

Literally a fat person, but in Argentina and many other countries it's used as an affectionate nickname regardless of actual weight. You can call your skinny partner "gordo" or "gorda" and it's pure love.

Examples

Gordo, you coming over for dinner?

Aw gordi, I miss you so much.

In Colombia, a neutral, catch-all word for a guy, a man, or just some person. It carries no strong positive or negative charge on its own; the tone depends entirely on context and delivery. Think "dude" or "that guy" in English.
