/Sounds like "koh" (as in "coat") + "RRYEHN" + "teh" (as in "ten")/
Cheap, tacky, or low class. In Mexico and Colombia, calling someone or something corriente is saying it lacks quality, taste, or refinement. It can refer to a person with no manners, a poorly made product, or anything that just screams "bargain bin." It's a solid insult when aimed at a person.
“That store only sells cheap, tacky clothes.”
“Don't be trashy, wipe your mouth with a napkin.”

Encuevarse
To disappear from social life and hole up somewhere private, like an animal retreating to its cave. In Mexico, when you encuevarte you stop answering calls, skip going out, and cut contact with the world until you feel ready to resurface. It can be a response to conflict, heartbreak, or simply needing a real break from people.
