/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.”

Popping off
To go off without a filter: suddenly acting aggressive, intense, or wildly expressive without caring about consequences. In Latin American internet slang (borrowed from English), "popping off" describes when someone snaps, goes on a rant, or just lets loose in a very public way.
