Cuca
/Sounds like "KOO" (as in "cool") + "kah" (as in "car")/
Something excellent, top quality, really good. In Antioquia and central Colombia, cuca is the local equivalent of "bacano": pure praise for anything that turned out great or truly impressed you. Think of it as the Antioquian way of saying "that was fire."
“Ese restaurante está cuca, los mariscos estaban divinos. (That restaurant is amazing, the seafood was absolutely divine.)”
“Qué cuca quedó ese trabajo, te felicito en serio. (That work turned out excellent, seriously, congratulations.)”

Trepador
A social climber who uses flattery, strategic relationships, and calculated positioning to move up, relying on who they know rather than what they can actually do. In Mexico, a trepador is always cozying up to whoever has power and disappears the moment that connection stops being useful.
