/Sounds like "boh" (as in "boat") + "rrah" + "DOHR" (as in "door")/
An eraser used to remove pencil marks, in Mexico, Colombia, Peru, and Venezuela. The word also means a draft or preliminary version of a text, two very different meanings sharing the same word.
“Pass me the eraser, I wrote the name wrong.”
“I forgot my eraser and had to cross everything out with pen.”

Ñapa
A little extra thrown in for free. From the Quechua word "yapa," meaning something added on top, ñapa is the bonus the vendor tosses in after you have already paid: an extra piece of fruit, an extra piece of candy, a little something to thank you for your business. A small gesture with a big cultural weight in Peru and other Andean countries.
