/Sounds like "boh" (as in "boat") + "TEE" (as in "tea") + "hah" (as in "hard")/
In Uruguay, the most common and affectionate way to say "kid" or "child." Also used casually between friends as a term of address. Totally neutral and warm in tone, completely embedded in everyday Uruguayan speech.
“Where are the kids? It is dinner time and they are nowhere to be found.”
“That kid plays soccer like a pro and he is only ten years old.”

Calmantes montes
A Chicano and Mexican rhyming phrase telling someone to calm down and lower the intensity. It comes from "cálmate" (calm down) with "montes" added purely for rhyme and rhythm, part of a tradition of Chicano internal rhyme expressions. Used when someone is overreacting, getting too angry, or stirring up unnecessary drama.
