Filo
/Sounds like "FEE" (as in "feet") + "loh" (as in "loan")/
In Colombia, an intense hunger that makes conversation impossible until food appears. When someone's filo kicks in, they become completely focused on finding something to eat.
“He's got a terrible filo, is there anything to eat?”
“With that filo, I won't be able to focus on anything.”

Avispado
Quick-witted, sharp, and street-smart. In Colombia, Venezuela, Spain, and Ecuador, avispado describes the person who reads every room instantly, catches on before anyone else, and never gets caught off guard. From "avispa" (wasp): alert, fast, and not someone you want to try to fool.
