/Sounds like "kweh" (as in "quest") + "RYAHR"/

Meaning

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.

Examples

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.
