/Sounds like "boh" (as in "boat") + "LEE" (as in "lead") + "grah" (as in "grant") + "foh" (as in "foam")/
A ballpoint pen, the standard word in Spain for the writing instrument that goes by a dozen names across the Spanish-speaking world. Mexico calls it pluma, Peru calls it lapicero, Argentina calls it birome. Same object, endlessly different names.
“Do you have a blue pen I can borrow for a moment?”
“My pen ran out of ink right before the exam.”

Bien pueda
A very warm Colombian expression meaning "go ahead" or "please, feel free." Reflects the hospitality and courtesy that Colombian culture is known for. You will hear it constantly when someone is granting permission or inviting you to do something, especially in Medellin and the coffee-growing region.
