/Sounds like "BROH" (as in "bro") + "kee" (as in "keep")/
A close friend, buddy, or homie. From the English "bro" with the Caribbean "-ki" ending added for warmth and rhythm. Widely used in Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic, and Cuba: warm, casual, and the word you reach for when "friend" just does not feel close enough.
“What is up, bro? It has been a while since I last saw you.”
“That is my lifelong best friend, I have known him since we were kids.”

Gordo
Literally a fat person, but in Argentina and many other countries it's used as an affectionate nickname regardless of actual weight. You can call your skinny partner "gordo" or "gorda" and it's pure love.
