/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.”

Tilico
Super skinny or scrawny, someone who looks like they have not eaten in days. In Mexico this word lands somewhere between affectionate and teasing depending on the context, and it is usually followed by a suggestion to go eat some tacos to fix the situation.
