/Sounds like "YOON" (as in "you") + "koo" (as in "cool")/
A sycophant or bootlicker who gets close to power through flattery and servility. From the Quechua word "llunku" meaning groveling or subservient, this term is deeply embedded in Bolivian political and workplace culture, always with a heavy negative charge. The llunku will say anything to stay in good graces with whoever is in charge.
“Don't pay attention to him, he's one of the bosses' bootlickers.”
“He spent the whole meeting kissing up just to make a good impression.”

Ya merito
Almost there, about to arrive, just a tiny bit left. It's the Mexican expression for when you're so close to the goal you can feel it, but that 'ya merito' can last five minutes or a whole hour.
