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.

kilombo

A term from the Rio de la Plata region used to describe chaos or disorder. Originally referring to settlements or gatherings of enslaved people of African origin, it evolved through several meanings. 1: A loud, persistent, and annoying racket or commotion, like yelling or loud music. 2: A brothel or whorehouse. 3: A big mess, a complicated problem, or serious trouble. (The word derives from Kimbundu and originally referred to settlements of escaped slaves, which colonial authorities viewed as sites of chaos and sin).

1 I couldn't sleep last night, my neighbor got married and they were making non-stop kilombo until 3 in the morning. 2 I went to the kilombo by the small square, they have a new girl who drove me crazy. 3 Your idiot brother got me into a huge kilombo with your old man, he told him I didn't go to his house on Sunday for his birthday because I went to the stadium to watch Boca, when I find him I'm going to wreck him for being a snitch.
