/Sounds like the English word "juk" + "eh" (as in "egg") + "AHR" (as in "art")/
In Bolivia, to cheat on an exam using any method available: a hidden cheat sheet, your phone, peeking at a classmate. Borrowed from the English "to juke," it is a well-known survival strategy in stressful academic moments.
“Me jukeé en el parcial de química o si no jalaba.”
“I cheated on the chemistry midterm or I would have failed.”
“Lo agarraron jukeando y lo bocharon del examen.”
“They caught him cheating and kicked him out of the exam.”

Tocado
A bit off, eccentric, or not entirely right in the head. In Spain, saying someone is "tocado" means they have a screw loose, though the tone ranges from affectionate to genuinely concerned depending on the situation.
