Drunk or well on the way there, in the Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico. Jalao literally means "pulled," as if something grabbed you sideways, which perfectly captures the wobbly, loose-limbed state. You are still standing, but just barely.
“He walked out of the bar completely hammered and had to lean on the wall to stay upright.”
“Two rums in and he was already buzzed and requesting songs from the DJ.”

Gufear
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.
