Join Hablaaa and add the expression no one else has documented.

/Sounds like "goo" (as in "good") + "REE" (as in "reed")/

Meaning

A kid or little boy in Uruguay and Paraguay, from the Guaraní language, used affectionately to refer to children. It's the go-to word for any young person in the neighborhood.

Examples

That kid is really smart for his age.

The neighborhood kids play soccer in the park every afternoon.

Word family

Hungover, suffering through the after-effects of the previous night's drinking. In Colombia the "guayabo" collects everything you drank the night before, with full interest. Being enguayabado is a full-body reminder that last night was probably a bad idea.
