Fucú
/Sounds like "foo" (as in "food") + "KOO" (as in "cool")/
Bad luck, a curse, or negative energy in Dominican Spanish. Saying "ese tipo tiene fucú" means that person brings bad vibes and whatever they touch breaks. The word has Afro-Caribbean roots tied to voodoo and Santería, but it became an everyday term Dominicans use to explain a streak of unexplainable bad luck.
“I've got terrible luck this week, everything is going wrong.”
“That car is cursed, it breaks down every other day.”
