/Sounds like "LEH-cheh"/
Luck in Peruvian Spanish, both good and bad. "Tener leche" means to be lucky, and "qué leche" means what luck (or what bad luck, depending on tone). Comes from the old use of the word as a symbol of fortune in several Spanish-speaking countries, but in Peru it's used with special frequency and versatility. A common word in games of chance, sports, and any situation where luck defines the outcome.
"Qué leche tuviste con el examen. → You got lucky on the exam."
"Tengo una leche horrible esta semana. → I've had awful luck this week."
