gocho

A term for people from the Venezuelan Andes, specifically the states of Merida, Tachira, and Trujillo. It is used both affectionately and as a slur. Because the Andean region is less crowded and has a slower pace of life, the word is sometimes used to imply someone is slow-witted or foolish. (The Venezuelan Andes are known for having a colder climate and a more reserved, polite culture than the Caribbean coast).

Wow, that gocha is really beautiful and very smart. But you just had to be a gocha, man, everything here has to be done so fast, if you don't keep moving, they will walk right over you.
