/Sounds like "geh" (as in "get") + "BOHN" (as in "boat")/
A strong insult or a term of endearment between close friends in Colombia, depending entirely on tone and context. Between friends it's "dude" or "man"; aimed at someone with real anger, it's a genuine insult implying stupidity or worthlessness.
“Dude, long time no see! How are you?”
“Don't be an idiot, we already sorted that out.”

Traer entre ojos
To have it in for someone, to hold a quiet grudge and be constantly watching for any excuse to go after them. In Mexico, when someone "te trae entre ojos" they have you in their sights and everything you do gets scrutinized.
