In Venezuela and the Caribbean, someone who acts like they're on the same level as someone above them — overstepping their rank without having earned it. Disrespectful overfamiliarity.

A dough stick filled with white cheese — Venezuela's most popular appetizer. In Venezuela no party is complete without tequeños: they're the first snack to disappear from the tray at any gathering.

A shameless person who says or does whatever they want without any pudor or concern for how it looks. In Colombia and Venezuela the descarado doesn't care — what others wouldn't dare, they do without a second thought.

A sharp, alert, and wide-awake person who won't be tricked easily by anyone. In Colombia and Venezuela espabilado is someone who already learned life's lessons and isn't buying anyone's story.
