    Words and phrases (official or jargon)

    Here are some words I recently learned in Colombia. When you are unaware of your surroundings (e.g., when you fall asleep in the car unintentionally), you are “foquiado (m), foquiada (f)”. When you have nothing to do, you are “desparchado (m), desparchada (f)”. And when you’re not hungry, you’re “desganado (m), desganada (f)”. For example, if you buy only a cappuccino at a café and the employee asks you if you want something to eat, too, and you say “no, thank you”, the employee may ask you, “¿Estás desganado?”. “Shuffle” on a music player is “aleatorio” and “payment”, such as “making a payment”, is “pago”.
