/Sounds like "poh" (as in "port") + "lee" (as in "lead") + "tee" (as in "tea") + "KEH" (as in "kept") + "roh" (as in "row")/

“That mayor turned out to be pure politiquero.”

Marranada
A dirty, dishonest, or deeply tasteless action. Calling something a marranada means it was not just wrong, it was low and morally foul. From "marrano" (pig), it implies the kind of behavior that makes decent people cringe. Used in Spain, Mexico, and Colombia.
