Cuero
+2
A way to call someone extremely hot or physically attractive in Caribbean and Latin American Spanish. Calling someone "un cuero" is a strong compliment about their looks, similar to saying someone is a total knockout. It is commonly used in Colombia, Dominican Republic, Mexico, and Puerto Rico, often in casual conversations when pointing out how good-looking someone is. The word literally means "leather" or "skin," but in slang it has nothing to do with materials.
