/Sounds like "TROH" (as in "troll") + "kah" (as in "car")/
A pickup truck in Chicano Spanish, borrowed from English "truck." La troca is a source of neighborhood pride: used for work, moving furniture, and cruising on Sundays all washed and shiny.
“Hop in the troca, we're going around the block.”
“My buddy rolls a lifted troca that has the whole street jealous.”

Qué pena
An expression meaning "sorry" or "how embarrassing" in Colombia and neighboring countries, not "what a pity." One of Spanish's most famous false friends: when someone says "qué pena" they are not sad, they are apologizing or feeling awkward. It trips up almost every foreigner learning Spanish in Colombia.
