Bandera de México

/Sounds like "boo" + "key"/

A fan of Los Bukis or Marco Antonio Solís, or someone who's overly sentimental and romantic, the kind of person who suffers for love like a classic Bukis ballad. In Mexico, calling someone "buki" means they're being dramatic about heartbreak, probably listening to sad love songs and refusing to move on. It's half teasing, half affectionate.

Example

"Puso puras de Los Bukis, ya salió lo buki. -> He put on nothing but Los Bukis songs, there goes his sentimental side."

"No seas buki, ya supérala, tiene un mes que terminaron. -> Don't be so lovesick, get over her already, it's been a month since you broke up."

Regional synonyms:

Alborotado, inquieto o muy emocionado, al punto de no poderse estar quieto. También se usa cuando alguien se pone rebelde o desafiante sin razón.
