Completely broke from day one of the month. In Colombia arrancao is the one counting coins from the start, borrowing from the corner store, and never quite understanding how it happened again.
“I'm flat broke until the fifteenth, I can't go out.”
“Don't ask him for money, that guy is always broke.”

Fucú
Bad luck, a curse, or negative energy in Dominican Spanish. Saying "ese tipo tiene fucú" means that person brings bad vibes and whatever they touch breaks. The word has Afro-Caribbean roots tied to voodoo and Santería, but it became an everyday term Dominicans use to explain a streak of unexplainable bad luck.
