/Sounds like "boh" (as in "boat") + "LAH" (as in "lava") + "doh" (as in "door")/
A catch-all word in El Salvador for any thing, situation, or matter. It replaces words like "cosa" or "asunto" with a distinctly Salvadoran flavor. You can use it for objects, topics, or events, and it pops up constantly in casual conversation.
“Pass me that thing on the table.”
“What is up with the new job, tell me everything.”

Fila
An orderly line of people waiting their turn with varying degrees of patience. Standing in fila is the most common patience exercise in urban life, where you learn to control your anger while inching forward.
