Join Hablaaa and add the expression no one else has documented.

/Sounds like "reh" (as in "red") + "kah" (as in "car") + "GAH" (as in "garden") + "doh" (as in "door")/

Meaning

An intensifier meaning "really" or "extremely," used in Chile to amplify any adjective to its maximum level. It's like saying "hella" or "crazy" before an adjective in English. Comes from a vulgar root but in everyday Chilean Spanish it's used casually without much shock value, everyone from teenagers to adults throws it around.

Examples

It's crazy cold outside, bring a jacket.

The exam was insanely hard.
