Buay
/Sounds like "BWYE"/
A Panamanian adaptation of the English word "boy," used as a casual address between friends, like "bro" or "dude." Saying "Que xopa, buay?" is the classic way young Panamanians greet each other: relaxed, friendly, totally natural.
“What's up, dude? Everything good?”
“That's my cousin, buay, I've known him my whole life.”

Burda
A lot, tons, a huge amount of something in Venezuela, the intensifier that signals there's more of something than you can handle. 'Burda de' pumps up any noun: burda de gente, burda de trabajo, burda de años. It's enthusiastic, colorful, and distinctly Venezuelan.
