/Sounds like "BREH" (as in "bread") + "teh" (as in "ten")/
The Costa Rican word for work or a job. While most of Latin America says "trabajo" or "chamba," Costa Ricans say "brete." It covers everything from job hunting to complaining about overtime. One of the most distinctly tico words in everyday speech.
“I have been looking for brete for two months and nothing has come up.”
“I cannot go out today, I have brete until late and the boss is already annoyed.”

Crucero
A street intersection in Mexico where red lights turn the sidewalk into a full scene of urban life. Expect vendors selling snacks, windshield washers, jugglers, and every kind of street hustle you can imagine. It is one of those uniquely Mexican spaces where the city pulses loudest.
