Kure
/Sounds like "KOO" (as in "cool") + "reh" (as in "red")/
Pig or swine in Paraguayan Guaraní, but mostly used as a sharp insult to call someone dirty, greedy, or shameless. It hits harder because it comes from the indigenous language, making it feel more raw and local than 'chancho'.
“Ese kure se comió todo sin dejar nada.”
“That pig ate everything without leaving anything.”
“Don't be a pig, share with the others.”

Chepo
Police officer or any uniformed authority figure in Panama. 'Chepo' is the everyday street word for cops in Panama, not necessarily hostile, just casual. Hearing 'vienen los chepos' is the universal cue to put away whatever you shouldn't be holding.
