In some regions of Spain and Latin America, 'cucas' is a slang term for bugs or cockroaches. However, it can also be used informally to refer to money in some Spanish-speaking countries like Colombia.
Examples
- Spanish: 1. ¡Ay, hay cucas en la cocina! 2. No puedo salir hoy, no tengo cucas.
- English: 1. Oh, there are bugs in the kitchen! 2. I can't go out today, I don't have money.
