Venezuelagocho
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.

Guabinoso
A term for someone who is flaky, slippery, and avoids commitments. They lack the firmness to take responsibility or make decisions and are known for breaking their word. Often self-centered and unreliable, they live in a state of contradiction between what they say and what they do, so nobody takes them seriously (the word refers to the guabina, a very slippery river fish).
