Escobar is elected as 'honorable' representative to the House

One of the most flexible words in Colombian informal speech. Literally 'turn' or 'lap', but used constantly for any plan, job, errand, or deal, licit or illicit. Context is everything.

Used when someone loses their cool or gets confrontational. Often implies they're overreacting. Common across Colombian registers.

Idiomatic expression. 'Agache' comes from 'agachar' (to duck down). Implies deliberately avoiding risk or responsibility. Common in informal Colombian speech.

Broadly used for any place, often implying it is modest, makeshift, or informal. Not inherently negative, can be affectionate.

Used as an adjective in Colombian informal speech to describe someone who is astute or street-smart. Not related to aviation in this usage.

Literally 'nit'. Used as a somewhat affectionate or amused insult for someone small, sneaky, or clever, similar in tone to calling a kid a little devil.

Used to tell someone to stop being naive or slow and pay attention. Can be urgent or frustrated in tone. Common in Colombian informal registers.

Highly context-dependent. Can mean making a romantic advance or, in a criminal context, moving against someone. The verb 'mandar' + 'el viaje' creates this idiomatic meaning.
