/Sounds like "koo" (as in "cool") + "RREH" + "lah" (as in "lava")/
A working-class person who grinds every day without complaint or fanfare. In Spain, "currela" (from the slang verb "currar," to work) is worn with a certain pride: you are not the boss, you are not management, you are the one who actually does the work and keeps things running.
“A true worker through and through, thirty years at the same company without missing a day.”
“Working people are always the ones who end up paying for every new tax reform.”

Choro
A thief or street mugger. In Peru, choro is the casual word for the petty criminal who grabs your bag, snatches your phone, or picks your pocket at a market. It is street-level vocabulary, slightly contemptuous, and completely factual.
