Create account/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.”

Chévere
Cool, awesome, great, one of the most recognizable Spanish slang words across Venezuela, Cuba, Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic, and Colombia. Chévere is pure Caribbean positivity: when something or someone is chévere, they've got the good vibes, no further explanation needed.
