/Sounds like "kweh" (as in "quest") + "RYAHR"/
To beat someone or give them a hard physical punishment, traditionally with a belt or leather strap. In Colombia, "cueriar" comes from "cuero" (leather), evoking the classic image of a strict parent reaching for the belt. If you misbehaved as a kid in Colombia, you got cueriado.
“If you don't pipe down, I'm going to give you a beating, and that's not a threat.”
“That guy got a serious beating for going around snitching to the elders.”

Ser un zángano
In Spain, a total lazy bum who avoids all responsibility and lives off other people without contributing anything. Like the drone bee in a hive: consumes everything the workers produce without making a single thing itself. Thirty years old and still has his parents paying for everything? Zángano.
