/Sounds like "KRYOH" + "yoh" (as in "yoke")/
In Peru, a clever and street-smart person who knows how to work any situation with wit and cunning. The "viveza criolla" is a cultural trait: the art of getting what you need through cleverness rather than force.
“He's very criollo, he always gets what he wants.”
“That street smarts will take you far in this country.”
