Both are used as slangs words:

Cotorra: Technically, a lie you use to get something you need or want. Example: Ahi le meti una cotorra al profesor pa' que no me queme la materia.

Sofocando: Is said for example: Te' toy sofocando. It means "I am better than you and you can't do nothing about it, so your choking because of it".
