pastelear

This is one of my FAVE expressions in Chilensis. It is soooo useful.

pastelear - 1) to lay around and do nothing, 2) mandar puras cagás - to make messes out of everything

Que hiciste este fin de semana? Pastelié con cuática.

What did you do this weekend? I laid around all weekend.

possible etymology: from...

pastel - a dumbass, a pastry. A person who is a pastel totally looses it under pressure, because you squeeze them, like a pastry, and the filling comes out y son cero aporte, zero help with anything. I think pastelear comes from this expression, specifically the part about cero aporte.

Chilensis, I believe.
