Naguará
Venezuela's classic exclamation of surprise, wonder, or disbelief. It is the local version of "wow!" or "oh my God!" and escapes when something is too big, too crazy, or too unexpected for ordinary words. Completely clean with no swearing, naguará is vintage Venezuelan slang that older generations kept alive and younger ones are reclaiming.
