To become overly attached to something or someone, refusing to let go even when it's time to move on. This is a common phenomenon in Colombia where people become obsessed with a particular thing or person, making it difficult for them to progress or see other options.

A person who causes trouble, creates problems, or gets involved in unnecessary situations. In Colombia, it's the troublemaker who can't be anywhere without causing a scene.

A person with no class, no taste, and no refinement — common and tacky in the worst way. In Ecuador and Colombia, mañé describes someone whose manners, style, and general vibe signal low-brow in every dimension. It stings because it's about who you fundamentally are, not just what you're wearing.

A person who covers up or enables someone else's questionable behavior out of complicity or affection. In Colombia and Venezuela the alcahueta knows everything that's going on and stays quiet because it benefits her.
