/Sounds like the English word "palt" + "eh" (as in "egg") + "AH" (as in "art") + "doh" (as in "door")/
Embarrassed, uncomfortable, or in a cringe-worthy situation in Peru. 'Paltearse' comes from 'palta' (avocado) and describes that moment where you just want the ground to swallow you.
“I was so palteado when they caught me cheating.”
“Don't get palteado, everyone makes mistakes sometimes.”

Argel
A Paraguayan word for someone who is unpleasant, grumpy, or just plain bad-tempered by nature. The argel snaps at people, has no patience, and radiates a sour energy that makes you want to choose a different line at the supermarket or a different window at the bank. "Qué argel" is the standard Paraguayan sigh when you run into one.
