/Sounds like "NAHR" (as in "nacho") + "koh" (as in "coat")/
A drug trafficker or anyone connected to the narco underworld at any level. In Colombia the word carries enormous cultural weight given the country's history with cartels in the 1980s and 90s, and it is used matter-of-factly across all social classes, from news reports to everyday conversation.
“The whole town lives in fear of the cartel.”
“That Netflix series about the cartel is brutal but accurate.”
