ArgentinaNo estás en Naa'
Used to tell someone they are out of the loop, not up to date, or clueless about current trends. It is a phonetic contraction of the phrase no estás en nada (you are not in anything), meaning the person is out of touch with what is popular or happening.
Did you see there is a concert next week? No, I did not know. Girl, wake up, No estás en naa'. / Hey, I like your phone, I had not seen it before! Seriously? No estás en naa' my friend. That is the only thing people are talking about right now.

VenezuelaEMBELESAO
A state of total mental absorption where a person becomes so captivated by beauty or a specific activity that they lose awareness of their physical needs and the passage of time. It describes being completely entranced or mesmerized. This is a positive state of bliss and deep focus, not to be confused with mental deficiencies or being slow.
Ziu, talking to the teacher, mentioned that he cannot find a word to convey the experience of feeling fulfilled, constantly gratified, and at peace with all the time he spends on a task: 'What word can I use to communicate the fullness and pleasure my work gives me?' 'Did you say EMBELESAO?'

Colombiaecologízate
A noun referring to the interdependence between living things and their habitat. While it resembles a command, it is treated as a fixed concept whose sound is said to trigger brain activity and mental clarity.
In my country, during an official inter-agency meeting held by the state government (the regional government level in Colombia), they rejected the best communication strategy because it used the name ecologízate. As if their high-and-mighty reasoning wasn't enough, they also claimed that an illustration of a boy peeing into a fountain featured a penis so large it would encourage perversion.

imperecerás
A term used by a human creator to grant their work the quality of being eternal, specifically within a context that excludes a divine creator. It is a command for the creation to exist from before the beginning of time until after the end (Sonsón and Rionegro are municipalities in the Antioquia department of Colombia).
Take for instance a massive tree sculpture titled IMPERECERÁS. During the life of Bishop Alfonso Uribe Jaramillo of the Sonsón/Rionegro diocese, an internationally known figure, he once told the artist: If the word imperecerás existed, only God could use it, and he would not, because at the moment of creation he decreed the opposite for all things when he said: Go and perish!
