To eat in a casual, no-fuss way. Used in Spain. Jamar is the everyday informal verb you reach for when hunger is real and there is nothing fancy about the situation.

“I am dying to eat something, I am absolutely starving right now.”

Maracas
A traditional percussion instrument: a pair of dried gourds filled with seeds that make rhythm when shaken. In Venezuela, maracas are the soul of llanero music and the national joropo genre, declared a cultural heritage of the country. No joropo sounds complete without them.
