/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.”

No tener abuela
In Spain, someone who shamelessly sings their own praises and brags about their achievements without anyone asking. The idea is that a grandmother would normally be the one to brag about you, so since this person has no grandmother to do it, they just do it themselves.
