In Latin America, to go beyond the minimum — to put in the extra effort that separates good from great. The distinguishing quality of those who stand out from the crowd.

A vulture or opportunistic person who takes advantage of others' misfortune to grab whatever they can. In Colombia and Venezuela the gallinazo always shows up when someone's in trouble to see what's there for the taking.
