/Sounds like "LAH" (as in "lava") + "OOL" (as in "Uber") + "tee" (as in "tea") + "mah" (as in "mark") + "choo" (as in "choose") + "PAH" (as in "park") + "dah" (as in "dart") + "DEHL" (as in "debt") + "MAHN" (as in "mark") + "goh" (as in "go")/
A purely Costa Rican expression for something or someone at the absolute peak of its category: the very best, nothing tops it. The image comes from a ripe mango where that final suck of the pit concentrates all the sweetness and there is nothing left after it. Used sincerely to praise something amazing, or sarcastically for someone who acts like they are better than everyone else.
“That new car he bought is top of the line, nothing else in the neighborhood comes close.”
“Saturday's party was peak, everyone is still talking about it.”

Dar palo
To feel too lazy or reluctant to do something, to find it a drag. In Spain, when something "da palo," the mere thought of doing it makes you want to procrastinate indefinitely. It is not quite dread, more like a heavy unwillingness.
