/Sounds like the English word "guf" + "eh" (as in "egg") + "AHR" (as in "art")/
A Puerto Rican verb meaning to have a good time, goof around, relax, or have fun without ceremony. Comes from English "goof" with a Spanish ending. "Estamos gufeando en la playa" means we're chilling on the beach without much of a plan. Used among friends in casual contexts, describing that energy of enjoying the moment without pressure. A quintessential Boricua word, though also heard among Dominicans.
“We're chilling on the patio.”
“We went to goof around at the café.”
