/Sounds like "lahm" (as in "lava") + "BOHN" (as in "boat")/
A shameless flatterer who praises bosses and superiors excessively to get favors, promotions, or special treatment. Used in Colombia and Venezuela. The lambón does not compliment you because they mean it; they do it because there is something in it for them. Common in workplaces and social circles where there is a clear hierarchy to exploit.
“That guy brings the boss coffee every single morning without being asked. Classic lambón.”
“Stop sucking up and let your work speak for itself.”

Cuernos
Infidelity, cheating on a romantic partner. "Poner los cuernos" means to be unfaithful, while "cargar los cuernos" means to be the one getting cheated on. A universal concept across the Spanish-speaking world: when it all comes out, everyone usually knew except the person being cheated on.
