/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.”

Aseguranza
Chicano Spanglish for insurance, especially car or health insurance, blending English "insurance" with Spanish "seguro." Driving without aseguranza is a big risk, and health coverage is a luxury in many barrios.
