/Sounds like "poh" (as in "port") + "ROHN" (as in "row") + "goh" (as in "go")/
In Uruguay and Argentina, a mild insult for someone acting dumb, clumsy, or without any common sense. The image behind the word is the porongo, a hollow gourd used to drink mate: empty on the inside, nothing going on upstairs.
“Don't be an idiot; check the numbers before sending the report.”
“He messed up again; the guy is completely clueless.”

Calidad
An expression of approval meaning something is great, top-notch, or exactly right. In Mexico and other Latin countries, 'calidad' said with the right tone is a full endorsement, no qualifiers needed, it just means 'that's the real deal'.
