/Sounds like "treh" (as in "tread") + "pah" (as in "park") + "DOHR" (as in "door")/
A social climber who uses flattery, strategic relationships, and calculated positioning to move up, relying on who they know rather than what they can actually do. In Mexico, a trepador is always cozying up to whoever has power and disappears the moment that connection stops being useful.
“Ese trepador ya se hizo amigo del director en tres semanas.”
“That climber already befriended the director within three weeks.”
“No confíes en ella, es una trepadora de primera.”
“Don't trust her, she is a first-class social climber.”

Tener el día torcido
In Spain, this means you're in a bad mood all day for no particular reason and everything gets on your nerves. The person having a "torcido day" snaps at ordinary things and is best avoided until tomorrow. Used in casual speech.
