Colombian Spanish, particularly common in Bogotá and Medellín. Combines 'culo' (ass) and 'cagado' (shit). Refers to young people who act tough or disrespectful but are seen as immature. Can be used affectionately among friends ('mi culicagado') but generally implies the person is a punk or upstart. The term captures the specific Colombian attitude toward disrespectful youth.
