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

/Sounds like "KYE" (as in "kite") + "geh" (as in "get")/

Meaning

Extreme laziness and total lack of motivation that prevents you from doing anything productive in Paraguay. It's that uniquely Paraguayan state of inertia, especially potent in the tropical heat.

Examples

I'm so lazy I can't even get out of the hammock.

In this heat, the laziness hits everyone harder.

A pig or hog in Argentina, Chile, and southern countries. Also used to describe someone dirty, messy, or with bad table manners, because nobody wants to be called chancho.
