/Sounds like "foh" (as in "foam") + "KEE" (as in "keep") + "tah" (as in "tar")/
In Ecuador, a very smart person who grasps things instantly. A playful comparison to a light bulb turning on: their mind lights up right away. Very common among students.
“Dani is so sharp, she solved the whole exam in fifteen minutes.”
“Ask that brainiac, he definitely knows about physics.”
