/Sounds like "bo" (as in "bonus") + "tee" + "ha" (as in "ha!")/
A kid, a child. In Uruguay, this is the most common and affectionate way to refer to children, similar to how Mexicans say "chamaco" or Americans say "kiddo." It can also be used casually between friends as a friendly way to address someone younger.
"¿Dónde andan los botijas? Ya es hora de cenar. -> Where are the kids? It's time for dinner."
"Ese botija juega al fútbol como un profesional. -> That kid plays soccer like a pro."
