Create account/Sounds like "gwah" (as in "Guam") + "YAH" (as in "yard") + "boh" (as in "boat")/
Deep sadness, nostalgia, or emotional heaviness caused by missing someone or something. Used in Colombia, guayabo has nothing to do with a hangover here; it is a weight in the soul, the specific ache you carry when someone you loved is no longer part of your daily life and the absence just sits there.
“She left me with a terrible guayabo when she moved away, I could not focus on anything for weeks.”
“He has a guayabo for that city that never goes away no matter how much time passes.”
/Sounds like "gwah" (as in "Guam") + "YAH" (as in "yard") + "boh" (as in "boat")/
A hangover after a night of drinking in Colombia, complete with the whole package of headache and regret. It can also mean deep sadness or nostalgia, like an emotional weight that sits heavy on your soul.
“I've got a terrible guayabo, I shouldn't have mixed drinks.”
“She left me with a horrible guayabo when she left, I couldn't sleep for days.”

Pelota
A sycophant who flatters those in power to get ahead, the classic yes-man who celebrates even his boss's mistakes. In Colombia and Venezuela, pelota is synonymous with "lambón" or "lame botas": someone who never has their own opinion, only whatever the boss thinks.
