/Sounds like "beh" (as in "bed") + "RRAH" + "kah" (as in "car")/
A fierce, brave, unstoppable woman in Colombia who faces everything head-on and comes out on top. Calling a woman 'berraca' is one of the highest compliments, it means she's a total warrior.
“That woman is a total warrior, she achieved everything on her own.”
“My mom is unstoppable, she raised four kids with no help.”

Encuevarse
To disappear from social life and hole up somewhere private, like an animal retreating to its cave. In Mexico, when you encuevarte you stop answering calls, skip going out, and cut contact with the world until you feel ready to resurface. It can be a response to conflict, heartbreak, or simply needing a real break from people.
