Your word isn't here yet

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

/Sounds like "ah" (as in "art") + "rah" (as in "rapper") + "GAHN" (as in "garden")/

Meaning

A lazy person who consistently avoids work and responsibilities in Mexico and Central America, armed with a thousand excuses. Always available for leisure, never available for anything useful.

Examples

That haragán has spent a month without seriously looking for work.

Stop being lazy, get up and help with something.

The Bolivian word for hot dog, a phonetic and affectionate adaptation of the English "hot dog" reduced to "jocho." In Cochabamba, jochos are practically a street-food religion: served from night stalls with fries, melted cheese, onion, and yellow sauce, ideally after 10 pm.
