/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.”

Jamear
A Peruvian, Venezuelan, and Caribbean verb meaning to eat with gusto, devour a good meal. "Vamos a jamear" means let's go eat seriously. Comes from "jama" (food) turned into a verb. Used without ceremony, casually: when someone proposes jamear, it's understood as a full meal with pleasure, not a snack. A word that survives across several generations of Peruvians and Caribbeans.
