Quite
In Costa Rica, the right moment to dodge or respond when a situation demands it. "Estar al quite" means keeping your attention sharp so you can act at exactly the right time. The expression comes from bullfighting, where the quite is the maneuver that diverts the bull away from a downed matador.
