GlobalÑañaras Occipucio
A slang term for the creeps, the heebie-jeebies, or intense shivers triggered by something unpleasant or gross. While the first word can vulgarly mean an itchy butt, this specific anatomical pairing refers to a tingling sensation at the base of the skull (this phrase became a meme in Latin America due to the Spanish dub of The Simpsons).
It is funny, but Homer used it in The Simpsons episode Adventure in China when he said, I got Ñañaras Occipucio and in my fingertips. Since the occiput is the back of the head and the other word refers to the tips of the fingers or toes, he is basically saying he got the chills in his neck and toes.

INTEC
A university run for endless profit, full of Santa Fe SUVs for corrupt rectors. Access to the fifty-million-peso lab is so restricted that the local news and even this slang site are blocked. You can only use Google, and what for, if you cannot even click the links? All the work of Eligio Cabrera, another bastard, the king of INTEC, who does whatever he feels like. It is a university where students are destined to suffer, run by a group of sadists with ruined dreams who will do anything to make you drop out or fail. You will have panic attacks about Week 9 for the rest of your life. Every three months you will breathe for two weeks and then go back to suffering. Tuition credits keep getting more expensive, every major is basically math, and the whole point is to screw people over or get screwed. Everyone who enters says, why the hell did I sign up for this? Those who leave say, damn, I am finally out. They go crazy and all that. (INTEC is a prominent Dominican university known for its high-pressure trimester system where Week 9 is the notorious final exam period).
They pay Droopy to fail people, they sent Piedra from Jupiter to teach classes, Gonzalez from the animal kingdom, Julio Perez from Wonderland, and Ramon Ramirez from the Stone Age. All those people are bums. The only one who is truly tough is Cesar Miguel Milan McCabe; there are no words for him, he is a king who is both bad and good, he is the king. I forgot that one of my best friends punched the vice-rector because he insulted and intentionally provoked him. Go figure. Next trimester they are going to raise the cost of credits at INTEC. It is business as usual.
