Chorpatelico
In the memoir I Confess That I Have Lived, Pablo Neruda explains that Federico Garcia Lorca used this word to describe funny and nonsensical objects or situations (Garcia Lorca was a famous Spanish poet and Neruda was a Chilean Nobel laureate).
Garcia Lorca says to Neruda about a dog they find: Pablo, I bet this dog is very chorpatelico. Neruda asks him: What is chorpatelico? Garcia Lorca replies: I have no idea, but you have to admit it is very chorpatelico.
