Bandera de Chile

/LON-hi/

A person who's checked out, off in their own world, or acting in a completely irrational way. In Chile, a 'longi' is the one staring at nothing, responding to things nobody said, or making decisions that baffle everyone around them. Spacey and disconnected.

Example

"What's wrong with that space cadet? He's talking to himself."

"Don't zone out — focus on what I'm telling you."
