To make out passionately, to kiss intensely with tongue and zero inhibition in Chile. It is the most intense, shameless version of a kiss, practically eating each other's faces, typically seen at parties and late night hangouts. Not to be confused with the standard Spanish meaning of "to mug" or "to rob," in Chilean slang this is all about romance.
"Se estaban atracando en la fiesta delante de todos. -> They were making out at the party in front of everyone."
"Se atracaron después del carrete y ahora están pololeando. -> They made out after the party and now they're dating."

To make out passionately in Colombia, when two people are all over each other kissing without caring who is watching. Unlike the standard Spanish meaning of robbery, "atracar" in Colombian slang is pure uncontrolled public affection, the kind of intense kissing that makes everyone around uncomfortable.
"Los pillaron atracando en el parque. -> They got caught making out in the park."
"Se atracaron toda la fiesta. -> They were making out the entire party."
/Sounds like "ah" + "tra" (as in "truck" without the "ck") + "car"/
To mug or rob someone with direct threats on the street in Colombia, Venezuela, Mexico and Peru. This is the classic street holdup that leaves you without your phone, your wallet, and with a scare that stays with you for weeks. An "atraco" is a robbery with intimidation, not a sneaky pickpocket job.
"Lo atracaron saliendo del cajero. -> He got mugged coming out of the ATM."
"Ten cuidado que atracan mucho por aquí. -> Be careful, people get mugged a lot around here."
