Regional synonyms

A strong insult in Colombia for a contemptible, disgusting person, but also used warmly between close friends depending on tone. Gonorrea (literally a disease) gets repurposed in Colombian Spanish as either a harsh curse aimed at enemies or an affectionate jab between homies. Context is everything.
