An expression used to warn a man to chill out, calm down, or take it down a notch when he is acting hysterical, aggressive, or furious. (The number 2 refers to lowering the intensity or volume of one's attitude, like turning a dial down.)
Used to indicate that a situation will be settled through violence or that someone is about to get beaten up. (The term refers to someone who gives a coque, which is a sharp knock on the head with the knuckles.)
Look at you, te sale coquero for being such a wanker!
A person who feels superior to everyone else and believes no one can beat them. It describes a total badass or a street-tough individual who thinks they are untouchable. (In Venezuelan slang, a lacra is someone with street smarts or a criminal edge, and alta acts as an intensifier meaning high or big-time.)
You are a total Alta Lacra, my friend. What I am is a total Alta Lacra, man. Tell your brother he is a total Alta Lacra and we will settle this out in the street.
Someone who systematically opposes everything or always holds a contrary opinion to the general consensus. (The term literally refers to a left-handed screw thread, which turns in the opposite direction of a standard one).
Just because you are a rosca izquierda does not mean you are smarter than everyone else.
A person who is seen as a square or a buzzkill because they do not give in to peer pressure, resulting in their friends viewing them as boring or out of the loop.
You are such a quedao, supposedly working instead of taking a long weekend.
