/Sounds like "mahr" (as in "mark") + "KEH" (as in "kept") + "tah" (as in "tar")/
Chicano Spanglish for the supermarket or grocery store, from English "market." The default word in border communities and barrios for where you do your weekly shopping.
“I'm heading to the marqueta for milk and tortillas - need anything?”
“The corner marqueta closed, now we have to drive to the big one.”

Pibón
An extremely attractive, stunning person who takes your breath away just walking by in Spain. It's the strongest physical compliment in Spanish vocabulary for someone who really stands out.
