Bo
/Sounds like "BOH" (as in "boat")/
Meaning
A Uruguayan expression to get someone's attention, the exact equivalent of the Argentine 'che' but with a Montevideo stamp. It's the registered trademark of Uruguayan speech that identifies you as Charrúa instantly.
Examples
“Bo, did you see what happened in the game? It was crazy.”
“Bo, come here, I gotta tell you something.”
Cipayo
A spineless lackey who does whatever it takes to please those in power. In Argentina and Spain, cipayo (originally an Indian soldier serving colonial rulers) became the word for anyone who slavishly serves foreign or elite interests at the expense of their own people.
