/Sounds like "dehs" (as in "debt") + "peh" (as in "pet") + "loo" (as in "loop") + "KAHR" (as in "car")/
In Colombia, to shamelessly overcharge someone or completely drain their wallet. Getting despelucado means walking away with less money than you should have paid, and knowing there was nothing you could do about it.
“That restaurant overcharges you without you even noticing.”
“They totally ripped me off on that car repair.”
