/Sounds like "boh" (as in "boat") + "TAH" (as in "tar") + "doh" (as in "door")/

Meaning

Something extremely easy, a total breeze. In Colombia and Venezuela, "botado" describes a task, exam, or challenge that turned out to be far simpler than expected. If you finish in half the time and barely tried, it was botado.

Examples

That exam was a total breeze, I finished it in twenty minutes.

The match was ridiculously easy, we won five to nothing without even trying.

/Sounds like "boh" (as in "boat") + "TAH" (as in "tar") + "doh" (as in "door")/

Meaning

Dirt cheap, almost free, priced so low it doesn't seem real. In Colombia and Venezuela, saying something is 'botado' is the signal you can't pass it up because it won't be this cheap again.

Examples

That TV is a steal, buy it now!

The mangoes are going for practically nothing at the plaza today.
