/Sounds like "sah" (as in "salsa") + "kah" (as in "car") + "KWEHN" (as in "quest") + "tahs" (as in "tar")/
In Colombia, someone who is nowhere to be found while everyone else is doing the hard work, but shows up right on time when there is something to collect or divide. They ride on everyone else's effort without contributing a single thing.
“That freeloader was absent the whole project and now shows up asking for his cut.”
“Do not be a sacacuentas, put in the work from the very beginning.”

Chombo
A Panamanian term for a person of African descent, especially descendants of the West Indian workers who came to build the Panama Canal in the late 1800s and early 1900s. The word carries complex historical weight: some use it as a source of cultural pride and identity, while others consider it derogatory. In Panama, context, tone, and who is saying it to whom defines everything.
