actocracia: It is a neologism that ironizes the idea that in a political act prior to elections, whoever gathers more people is the one who will win. It is associated with a misconception about democracy (and not so much with other systems of government where the definition is clearer), as if the number of attendees at a rally ("political act") were equal to the number of voters in a vote. See suffix -cracy, epistocracy.
antiparabólico: It is a neologism as far-fetched as it is ingenious, used in Colombia, Venezuela and other countries in the region for someone who ignores or despises the company of others, who makes his life without caring what happens around him. It was created from the expression "stop balls" ("listen, attend to something or someone") associated with another technical voice (only by phonetic similarity) as "parabolic", attached to the prefix anti- ("that denies or opposes").
gutículas: The truth is that it does not exist. Surely it comes from a comment that I made half jokingly in droplets, because of its etymology and because it is a somewhat pretentious word.

pichigüili: It is a Castilianization of the English voice peecheewilly, a humorous and ironic neologism to call the advertising gifts delivered by pharmaceutical laboratories, especially during congresses, conventions or fairs where attendees walk the stalls looking for brochures and information about new products.

chupóptero: Person considered as a parasitic bug, which consumes other people's resources or that do not correspond to him. The folk etymology links "sucking" ("absorbing") with the suffix -ptero ("winged") which sounds like a bug like the mosquito (which is a diptera) or the flea (which is an apterous insect).
anatomofobia: It doesn't actually exist and has been used as a humorous, as a "fear of study or anatomy classes."
