/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.”

Estar como las huevas
To feel terrible, be in the worst possible mood, or be in genuinely bad shape physically or emotionally. In Chile this is one of the most direct expressions for hitting rock bottom mood-wise. When someone is "como las huevas," they are not available for anything.
