/Sounds like "rehs" (as in "red") + "kah" (as in "car") + "TAHR" (as in "tar") + "seh" (as in "set")/

Bandera de México
Alivianarse

Nothing to sneeze at: something with real weight and importance, not trivial in the slightest. Used in Spain, Mexico, and Colombia to remind people that something deserves genuine respect and attention. The literal image is turkey mucus, which is memorably gross and therefore memorable.
