/Sounds like "ehs" (as in "egg") + "TAHR" (as in "tar") + "ah" (as in "art") + "RREH" + "choh" (as in "chose")/
In Venezuela, to be very angry, furious, or totally fed up. Use this word carefully though: in Colombia, arrecho means brave or bold, and in other contexts it carries sexual connotations. Same word, completely different meanings depending on who is saying it and where.
“Estoy arrecho con el gobierno, ya no aguanto más.”
“I'm furious with the government, I can't take it anymore.”
“Se puso arrecho cuando le rayaron el coche, con razón.”
“He went ballistic when they scratched his car, and rightfully so.”

Bien pueda
A very warm Colombian expression meaning "go ahead" or "please, feel free." Reflects the hospitality and courtesy that Colombian culture is known for. You will hear it constantly when someone is granting permission or inviting you to do something, especially in Medellin and the coffee-growing region.
