/Sounds like the English word "guap" + "eh" (as in "egg") + "AHR" (as in "art")/
To act tough or put on a brave front without anything to back it up. Used in Argentina and Cuba. Guapear is all chest-puffing and zero substance: talking big, throwing attitude around, trying to look intimidating, but almost always folding the moment someone actually calls the bluff. The neighborhood tough-guy performance, exposed.
“He was acting tough all night at the bar and the moment someone confronted him he turned and ran.”
“Stop playing tough guy, nobody here knows you and nobody is impressed.”

Despechado
Heartbroken and bitter after being dumped or rejected. That messy emotional state where sadness and anger get all tangled up: you blast sad songs at full volume, overthink every conversation, and send messages you will absolutely regret. In Latin culture, being despechado is practically its own music genre, think Aventura, rancheras, and every breakup playlist ever.
