/Sounds like "koh" (as in "coat") + "peh" (as in "pet") + "TEEN" (as in "tea")/
A short pre-dinner drink or light aperitif, and the casual social gathering around it. Used in Argentina and Uruguay. The copetín is a beloved Rioplatense ritual: late afternoon, friends or family, a glass of wine or fernet, some snacks on the table, and nobody is in a hurry. It sets the tone for the meal and the evening to follow.
“Are you staying for a quick drink before you head out?”
“We had a couple of drinks together and then sat down for dinner.”

Pichurria
In Colombia, something or someone completely worthless, insignificant, and not worth anyone's time. The perfect put-down for minimizing anything: a weak team, a lame excuse, or a person with no substance. Calling something una pichurria is the Colombian way of saying it is total trash.
