A Costa Rican comeback for someone who acts like they're too good for everyone else, walks around with their nose in the air, or thinks they're special for no real reason. The image is intentionally absurd, "as if you had a butt with three cheeks", meaning you'd have to be an actual freak of nature to be walking around acting this stuck up. It's how Costa Ricans bring someone back down to earth without having to argue about why.
"Mirá cómo camina esa mae, ni que tuviera un culo de tres nalgas. -> Look how that girl walks, like she's some kind of miracle."
"Se cree la última coca del desierto, ni que tuviera un culo de tres nalgas el mae. -> She thinks she's the last Coke in the desert, like she's something out of this world."

Perol
An old, beat-up car that barely runs, stalls on its own, and makes weird noises. In Venezuela, a 'perol' is that car that should be in the junkyard.
