/Sounds like "KAHM" (as in "car") + "bah" (as in "bar")/
A person from eastern Bolivia, especially from Santa Cruz de la Sierra. It's a proud regional identity that marks the cultural distinction from the western highlands, and locals carry the label with fierce pride.
“Cambas have their own culture and way of speaking.”
“I'm camba at heart, born and raised in Santa Cruz.”

Akaraku
A Paraguayan insult that comes from Guaraní "akã" (head) plus "raku" (hot), literally "hot head." It's used to describe a foolish, poorly thought-out person, or someone constantly doing reckless things without thinking about consequences. It's a common insult in arguments, scoldings, and everyday complaints. Not as strong as a curse word, but not affectionate either: it's delivered with real frustration.
