/Sounds like "reh" (as in "red") + "kahr" (as in "car") + "GAHR" (as in "garden")/
To go overboard, to exaggerate and push something past its natural limit until all subtlety is gone. Used in Mexico and Argentina. You can recargar with perfume, with acting, with seasoning, with attitude, or with decoration. The point is that you crossed the line from "enough" into "too much" and everyone around you can tell.
“You are going way overboard with the perfume, you can smell it from outside the door.”
“Do not overdo the performance so much, it needs to feel natural.”

Noche de velorio
A long, tedious situation that feels like it will never end, by analogy with the all-night funeral wake. In Mexico and Guatemala, if something is a "noche de velorio" it dragged on for hours without going anywhere meaningful.
