Pico
/Sounds like "PEE" (as in "pea") + "koh" (as in "coat")/
Meaning
A quick, light kiss on the lips in Colombia and Venezuela. It is innocent and affectionate, the kind of peck you give your partner when saying goodbye or hello. Hilariously, this exact same word is one of the most vulgar terms in Chile, meaning the complete opposite, so watch where you use it.
Examples
“Give me a quick kiss before I leave for work.”
“She gave him a goodbye peck and ran off.”

Pico
/Sounds like "PEE" (as in "pea") + "koh" (as in "coat")/
Meaning
One of the strongest and most vulgar swear words in Chile, referring to the male sexual organ. It is the Chilean equivalent of the F-word in terms of shock value. Saying "me importa un pico" means you could not care less, and "andar a la pico" means to tell someone to screw off. Be very careful using this word in Chile, especially around older people, because it will absolutely raise eyebrows.
Examples
“I don't give a damn what they say.”
“I told my boss to screw off and I quit.”

Pillo
+3
A thief, crook, or untrustworthy person with bad intentions. This is the most widespread meaning outside Colombia: someone you shouldn't leave alone with your wallet. In Spain and the Southern Cone, calling someone "pillo" is not a compliment.
