/Sounds like "teh" (as in "ten") + "RREE" + "bleh" (as in "blend")/
In Chile and Argentina, "terrible" can work as a positive intensifier, meaning something is impressively good or intense rather than bad. Context is everything: "terrible jugador" means an incredible player, not a terrible one.
“Last night's party was insane, we had an incredible time.”
“He's a seriously impressive player, there's nobody quite like him.”

Ñapa
A little extra thrown in for free. From the Quechua word "yapa," meaning something added on top, ñapa is the bonus the vendor tosses in after you have already paid: an extra piece of fruit, an extra piece of candy, a little something to thank you for your business. A small gesture with a big cultural weight in Peru and other Andean countries.
