The Poison

Borrowed from English 'man' and fully integrated into everyday Colombian speech. Refers to any person, usually male, whose name the speaker doesn't use or doesn't know. Very common across all social classes in Colombia.

A Colombian Spanish expression for having courage or nerve. The literal meaning is anatomical but the figurative use is well understood as meaning bravery or audacity. Often said with a mix of admiration and surprise.

The combination of 'andar' as an auxiliary of repeated or ongoing action plus 'jodiendo' creates an expression of nuisance or persistent interference. Common in informal Colombian speech.

Diminutive of 'mona' (fair, blonde). In Colombia, 'mono/mona' and their diminutives are very common affectionate or descriptive terms for people with lighter skin or hair. Here it signals a close emotional connection from the speaker's side.

A very common colloquial request or command. It can be firm or casual depending on tone. Often heard in negotiations or arguments as a condition.
