/Sounds like 'CHOO-yah VEE-dah'/
Ecuador's version of YOLO — 'you only live once,' expressed in Quechua-flavored Spanish. 'Chulla' means one or only, so chulla vida says: this is the one life you get, live it fully. Used to justify big decisions, spontaneous plans, and questionable choices made with total conviction.
"Renuncié al trabajo y me fui de viaje. ¡Chulla vida! → "I quit my job and went traveling. You only live once!"
"Pide lo más caro del menú, chulla vida. → "Order the most expensive thing on the menu — YOLO."
