/Sounds like "boh" (as in "boat") + "TAH" (as in "tar") + "nah" (as in "nacho")/
A snack, appetizer, or munchie eaten between meals or alongside drinks in Mexico. Chips, peanuts, salsa, and all the little bites you grab at a party or while watching a game are "botana." But the word has a fun double meaning: in casual conversation, "botana" also means something funny or hilarious. If someone says a video is "pura botana," they mean it is pure comedy gold that had them cracking up.
“Buy snacks for the party: chips, peanuts, and salsa.”
“That video is pure comedy, I'm dying of laughter.”

Residue, dregs, or the stuff left at the bottom of a drink or food in Central America. It's that sediment nobody wants to drink, the leftovers at the bottom of the cup when the good part of the coffee is gone.
