/Sounds like "tee" (as in "tea") + "LEE" (as in "lead") + "koh" (as in "coat")/
Super skinny or scrawny, someone who looks like they have not eaten in days. In Mexico this word lands somewhere between affectionate and teasing depending on the context, and it is usually followed by a suggestion to go eat some tacos to fix the situation.
“That kid is way too skinny, he needs to go eat a proper meal.”
“Don't be so scrawny, eat something before you pass out.”

Escamoso
A suspicious, distrustful person who is always on guard and never takes anything at face value. In Colombia, calling someone "escamoso" means they have a sixth sense for detecting scams and lies, they question everything and are nearly impossible to fool.
