/Sounds like "ah" (as in "art") + "bee" (as in "bee") + "BAH" (as in "bar") + "doh" (as in "door")/
In Chile, a opportunistic person who takes advantage of others without any shame. An "avivado" plays smart by cutting corners and stepping over everyone else to get ahead.
“Don't be a freeloader, pay your share like everyone else.”
“That guy cut the line like it was nothing.”

In Argentina, someone who uses their cleverness to get ahead, often by bending the rules or taking advantage of other people's oversights. Depending on context it can be said with a hint of admiration or mild criticism. The avivado plays the system and usually wins.
“He cut straight to the front of the line and nobody said a word.”
“He worked the discount angle and ended up paying half of what everyone else paid.”

To interfere in something that doesn't concern you, to stick your nose in where it's not invited. In Argentina, 'to put your fingers in' is the way to describe unnecessary interference in other people's affairs.
