/Sounds like the English word "coim" + "eh" (as in "egg") + "AHR" (as in "art")/
To bribe someone, or to grease a palm so that a process moves forward or a penalty disappears. In Argentina and Paraguay, the coima (bribe) is so embedded in certain bureaucratic cultures that people factor it in as a regular cost. Coimear is the verb for making it happen.
“They had to bribe the inspector so he would not shut them down.”
“Around here everything gets done through bribes, it is embarrassing.”

A traitor who was bought or bribed to act in someone else's favor. In soccer, it's what fans yell at the referee when he seems to be calling everything in favor of the opposing team, accusing him of having taken money to tilt the scoreline. It's a direct accusation, not just a casual insult.
