/Sounds like "KOY" + "mah" (as in "mark")/
A bribe or illegal payment made to officials or authorities to get things done or make problems disappear. Corruption's favorite currency, sadly common in many Latin American countries.
“The cop asked for a bribe to let me go.”
“Without a bribe, nothing gets done at that office.”

No dar un palo al agua
A Spanish expression for someone who absolutely refuses to work, not even lifting a finger. The imagery comes from rowing: not giving a single stroke means not moving at all. Always used in the negative, always with a tone of reproach.
