An unexpected twist that nobody saw coming. It's used for real-life situations just as much as movies — any shocking reversal that flips the script completely.

A quick, light kiss on the lips in Colombia and Venezuela. It is innocent and affectionate, the kind of peck you give your partner when saying goodbye or hello. Hilariously, this exact same word is one of the most vulgar terms in Chile, meaning the complete opposite, so watch where you use it.

An expression meaning things went wrong, there is no option left, or you are out of luck. In Colombia it is like saying "tough luck" or "too bad," used when things do not go as planned and there is nothing you can do about it.

The most massive dish in Colombia: beans, rice, ground beef, pork rinds, fried egg, ripe plantain, arepa, avocado, and chorizo. It's not a plate, it's a feast on a tray.
