/Sounds like "moo" (as in "moon") + "see" (as in "see") + "OO" (as in "Uber")/
A foreigner in Venezuela, especially someone European or of Western appearance. The word comes from the French "monsieur" and became the general Venezuelan term for anyone who looks or sounds like they're from somewhere else. Descriptive rather than insulting, though the tone can shift depending on context.
“Everyone working at that restaurant is foreign, barely anyone speaks Spanish.”
“That guy has been in Caracas for years and still hasn't figured out how to joke around like a local.”

Desparchado
Bored with nothing to do, stranded with no plans and nobody to hang out with. In Colombian slang, "desparchado" captures that Sunday-afternoon feeling that drags on forever: no vibe, no destination, just you and the ceiling. The opposite of "parchado" (hanging out with the crew).
