/Sounds like "KAH" (as in "car") + "rye" (as in "rye") + "GWAH" (as in "Guam") + "soo" (as in "soup")/
An important or powerful person. From Guaraní, it literally means "big lord" or "great sir." In Paraguay it can be used with genuine respect, dry irony, or open sarcasm depending on who is saying it and why.
“The big man of the town is out on his political tour.”
“He thinks he's a big shot just because he works at the ministry.”

In Mexico, hyped up, restless, or buzzing with so much excitement or agitation that you cannot sit still. Can also describe someone who suddenly gets confrontational or rebellious for no clear reason. Think of a bottle that has been shaken too hard.
