/Sounds like "TEE" (as in "tea") + "greh" (as in "grade")/
A sharp, street-smart person who always finds a way out of tight spots. In Venezuela, calling someone a tigre is high praise: it means they have hustle, resourcefulness, and the instincts to handle whatever life throws at them. Pure survival intelligence.
“That guy is a tigre, he got dollars when nobody else in the neighborhood could.”
“Being a tigre in Venezuela is an art form you learn day by day.”

Pitogue
In Paraguay, an annoying, relentless nuisance who interrupts constantly, asks too many questions, or gets in the way without realizing it. A mild insult used in everyday conversation for that person you are always trying to avoid.
