/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.”

Nel pastel
A funny and emphatic Mexican way of saying no. It is basically "nel" (slang for no) with "pastel" (cake) added purely because it rhymes, making the rejection sound playful instead of harsh. Mexicans love adding rhymes to slang for comedic effect, and this is a perfect example. You use it when you want to say no but keep things lighthearted and goofy.
