/Sounds like "peh" (as in "pet") + "REH" (as in "red") + "keh" (as in "kept")/
In Colombia, an annoyance, a pest, or a situation that creates unnecessary friction in your day. A pereque is not a major crisis, just that persistent little obstacle that refuses to go away: the client who calls ten times for nothing, the coworker who overcomplicates everything simple, the errand that takes forever for no good reason.
“Stop being such a pain and quit bugging me about the same thing.”
“That client is a total pereque, he calls ten times over the smallest thing.”
