/Sounds like "boh" (as in "boat") + "LEE" (as in "lead") + "yoh" (as in "yoke")/
In Mexico, a casual nickname for a light-skinned or fair-featured person with European looks. Borrowed from the name of the classic Mexican white bread roll, the term is typically not meant as an insult, though the tone can shift depending on context and relationship.
“They call him bolillo because he is fair-skinned with light eyes.”
“The neighborhood nicknamed him bolillo since he was a kid because of his light skin.”
