/Sounds like "TEHR" (as in "ten") + "koh" (as in "coat")/
A stubborn person who will not budge or change their position no matter how much reasoning or evidence you throw at them. Used across Mexico and Central America as a synonym for hardheaded or pigheaded.
“Do not bother telling him anything. He is so stubborn he is not going to listen.”
“He lost his job because of his stubbornness. He just refused to learn anything new.”

Jalado
Failed, as in flunking an exam or a course in Peru. When you get 'jalado,' it means you did so badly that not even grading on a curve could save you. The word literally means 'pulled,' as in pulled down or pulled out of the passing list.
