Bandera de México

/Sounds like "teh" (as in "ten" without "n") + "NEHR" + "kohl" + "MEE" (as in "me") + "yoh" (as in "yo")/

To be experienced and street-smart enough not to get fooled in Mexico — wisdom earned through years of hard knocks. Life's hits give you colmillo, that healthy suspicion that protects you from scammers.

Example

"You can't fool me, I've got plenty of colmillo."

"Grandma has a lot of colmillo, nobody fools her."

Bandera de Colombia

En Colombia "ahora" puede significar "más tarde" o "en un rato", no necesariamente en este instante. Cuidado con la confusión: si un colombiano dice "ahora voy", puede que tarde un buen rato en llegar.
