/Sounds like "bah" (as in "bar") + "goh" (as in "go") + "NEH" (as in "net") + "tah" (as in "tar")/
A freeloader or slacker in Mexico who lets others carry all the weight while coasting along for the benefits. The word literally evokes a wagon: the vagoneta rides in it while everyone else pushes uphill.
“Don't be a freeloader, help out with the chores.”
“That slacker has gone months without contributing anything to the team.”
/Sounds like "bah" (as in "bar") + "goh" (as in "go") + "NEH" (as in "net") + "tah" (as in "tar")/
A chronic slacker who coasts on everyone else's effort and never pulls their own weight. In Argentina, vagoneta comes from "vagón," a train car that gets pulled rather than propelling itself. Someone who found the path of least resistance and made it a permanent lifestyle.
“Do not put that slacker on the team, he is not going to do a thing.”
“They have been coasting for years, collecting a paycheck without doing any real work.”

Mal de ojo
A folk belief that someone's envious gaze can cause illness, especially in babies and children. It's deeply rooted in Latin American culture, and many families use amulets and rituals to protect against it.
