/Sounds like "BOH" (as in "boat") + "lee" (as in "lead") + "doh" (as in "door")/
Someone or something moving at full speed with no signs of stopping. In Venezuela and Colombia, when someone moves like a bólido they go by so fast you barely register they were there. Works for fast drivers, fast walkers, and people who work at a relentless, unstoppable pace.
“He went past like a rocket, I did not even see his face.”
“That guy works like a machine, he does not even stop to eat.”

Tirilón
A laid-back, rebellious barrio dude in Chicano pachuco slang, tied to the zoot suit style and 1940s marijuana culture. A historical term that lives on as a cultural identity marker among U.S. Latinos.
