/Sounds like "BOO" (as in "boot") + "rroh"/
Someone who is slow to understand, thick-headed, or who acts without thinking. Used across Spain, Mexico, Argentina, Colombia, and Venezuela. When you say it about yourself it is self-deprecating and fairly light. When you say it about someone else the sharpness depends on tone and context. Comes from the donkey, an animal associated with stubbornness and slowness.
“I am hopeless at math, I genuinely need everything explained to me at least twice.”
“Do not be dense and actually study before the final exam this time.”
/Sounds like "BOO" (as in "boot") + "rroh"/
A dumb person or someone who doesn't understand things no matter how many times you explain. Calling someone burro is a classic since elementary school that never goes out of style, it stings, but we've all heard it.
“Don't be a burro, the answer is obvious.”
“I felt like such a burro when everyone understood except me.”

Transa
An informal or shady deal, often with something to hide. A transa operates in the gray area between legal and illegal, it might be a corrupt agreement, an under-the-table exchange, or a business no one wants scrutinized.
