/Sounds like "kahm" (as in "car") + "PAH" (as in "park") + "nah" (as in "nacho")/
The lookout, the person posted to keep watch while others carry out something shady or illegal. In Argentine street slang (lunfardo), the "campana" (literally "bell") rings the alarm so the crew can scatter if police or unwanted visitors show up. If the campana slips up, everyone gets caught.
“Be the lookout while we go inside.”
“They got caught because the lookout got distracted scrolling his phone.”

Hijueputa
A very strong insult in Colombia, derived from "hijo de puta." Thrown directly at someone to severely disrespect them. It can also function as a raw exclamation of surprise, pain, or even intense admiration depending on context and tone, making it one of Colombia's most versatile (and explosive) words.
