/Sounds like "NOH" (as in "note") + "cheh" (as in "check") + "DEH" (as in "debt") + "beh" (as in "bed") + "LOH" (as in "loan") + "ryoh"/

“That conference was a total slog: four hours and nothing new was said.”
“Waiting at the emergency room was brutal, I got there at nine and did not leave until the early hours.”

No tener abuela
In Spain, someone who shamelessly sings their own praises and brags about their achievements without anyone asking. The idea is that a grandmother would normally be the one to brag about you, so since this person has no grandmother to do it, they just do it themselves.
