/Sounds like "ah" (as in "art") + "RAH" (as in "rapper") + "nyah" (as in "Nyan")/
In Mexican street slang, a pickpocket or light-fingered thief who can lift things without anyone noticing. Called an araña (spider) because their fingers move fast and catch whatever they touch.
“Don't pull out your wallet there, that bus is full of arañas.”
“That guy is a total araña, he'll empty your pockets and you won't even feel it.”

Bomba
In Costa Rica, "bomba" has two everyday meanings. First, it's the gas station, where you fill up your tank. Second, it's a short improvised rhyming verse dropped at parties or traditional dances, usually cheeky or funny, launched right before the music kicks in. Both uses are completely ordinary in daily Tico speech.
