/Sounds like "PRAHN" (as in "prank") + "gah" (as in "garden") + "nah" (as in "nacho")/
Being flat broke, in extreme poverty, without a single cent. In Ecuador and Colombia, 'prángana' captures that specific feeling of financial rock bottom, not just tight on money, but completely wiped out, especially at the end of the month.
“After the crisis we were completely broke.”
“There's no worse broke than end-of-the-month broke.”

Portátil
A laptop in Spain and Colombia. While most of Latin America says "laptop," Spaniards and Colombians say portátil for any portable computer. The word perfectly captures the remote-work era: grab your portátil and work from any café with decent wifi.
