Meanings sorted by:

umiak: It is the Inuktitut name of origin for the canoe also known as konebaad, which is not necessarily for a woman, although it does have some relation to the Inuk's wife.
jumbo: It is an adjective for something "big, of enormous size", from the name of an Abyssinian elephant captured in the mid-19th century and exhibited in circuses and fairs in Europe and the US. There are no records that explain why they gave it that name, perhaps it has its origin in the Swahili greeting yambo, which is how Jumbo sounds in English, although for some reason in many Spanish-speaking countries we say it 'yumbo'.
letsema: I had my doubts about whether this word of Sesotho origin (South African) was used in English, but it seems that it was, and with a very similar sense since it is "community work, in a team, for the good of the social group", although within capitalist culture it is applied more to the work group, in order to achieve a goal. Letsema was in principle the time of harvest or any cultivation work, which in African villages was done together no matter who owned the land.
fangirling: It is the attitude, gestures, reactions of a fangirl (fanguirl "fan girl"), especially for the hysterical behavior, the screams and obsession of that fandom that is very characteristic and originated this anglicism that is found in Spanish and that even created the Spanglish "fanguirlear". See cholula, english/-ing.
