Lata
/Sounds like "LAH" (as in "lava") + "tah" (as in "tar")/
Something boring, tedious, or that you really can't be bothered to do or listen to. Also a latoso person who's annoying, insistent, and won't stop bugging you or talking when nobody asked.
“That class is such a drag, I always fall asleep.”
“Don't be such a lata, stop insisting already.”

Despelucar
In Colombia, to shamelessly overcharge someone or completely drain their wallet. Getting despelucado means walking away with less money than you should have paid, and knowing there was nothing you could do about it.
