Vago
/Sounds like "BAH" (as in "bar") + "goh" (as in "go")/
A slacker, a bum, someone who dodges work and responsibility with impressive consistency and always has a convincing excuse ready. Used across Spanish-speaking countries but especially common in Colombia, where it describes the person floating through life on other people's effort.
“No seas vago y ayuda en la casa.”
“Stop being a slacker and help out around the house.”
“Ese man es un vago, lleva meses sin buscar trabajo.”
“That dude is a total bum, he hasn't looked for work in months.”

Borondo
A long, aimless stroll with no fixed destination, taken purely for the pleasure of wandering. In Mexico and Guatemala, going on a borondo means letting the day take you wherever it wants: no agenda, no clock, just movement and whatever you find along the way.
