/Sounds like "sa" (as in "salsa") + "pa" (as in "papa")/
A nosy, gossipy person who sticks their nose where it does not belong. A sapa is the one who eavesdrops on conversations, spreads rumors, and is always snooping around in other people's business. Very common in Peru, Colombia, and Ecuador. The male version is "sapo." If someone calls you sapa, they are telling you to mind your own business and stop being so nosy.
"No le cuentes nada a ella, es bien sapa y le va a decir a todo el mundo. -> Don't tell her anything, she's super nosy and she'll tell everyone."
"¿Por qué eres tan sapa? Nadie te preguntó. -> Why are you so nosy? Nobody asked you."

Acera
Espacio pavimentado al costado de la calle para que caminen los peatones de forma segura. Es la zona sagrada del peatón que los carros deberían respetar pero que en muchas ciudades invaden sin piedad.
