/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.”

A knockout punch that leaves someone flat on the ground immediately. Used in boxing contexts but also in everyday Mexican and Central American speech for any hit that takes someone out of the game, or figuratively for someone so exhausted they are completely out of commission.
