A job or work in Cuba, what you do every day to earn a living and put food on the table. It's the everyday Cuban word for employment, said with that mix of resignation and pride.
“I gotta go to work early tomorrow.”
“I got a new job that pays better.”

Tremenda jugada
A brilliant or sneaky move that nobody saw coming. In the Caribbean, "tremenda jugada" can mean an impressive play you have to admire, or a total backstab that blindsided you. Which one it is depends entirely on which side of the move you're on.
