/Sounds like "TEE" (as in "tea") + "geh" (as in "get") + "rah" (as in "rapper")/
The feminine form of "tíguere" in Dominican Spanish: a woman who is sharp, streetwise, and knows how to move and defend herself. Not a pure insult or pure compliment; it is recognition of someone with real urban instincts. Better not mess with her.
“That sharp woman closed the deal on her own, nobody helped her.”
“Do not mess with her, she is a tíguera and she knows everything.”

Guayacán
In Colombia, calling someone a guayacán is the highest kind of compliment: they are unbreakable. The word comes from the guayacán tree, famous for its incredibly hard wood and long life. This person has faced hardship, stayed standing, and kept going.
