/Sounds like the English word "jam" + "eh" (as in "egg") + "AHR" (as in "art")/
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.
“Let's go eat at the chifa.”
“We ate really well last night.”

Zompo
A clumsy person who trips, knocks things over, or breaks stuff on a regular basis, not out of carelessness but just because coordination is not their strong suit. Used in El Salvador and Guatemala with a teasing tone that is more affectionate than mean.
