/Sounds like "boo" (as in "boot") + "SEH" (as in "set") + "tah" (as in "tar")/
A small public transit bus in Colombia and Ecuador, smaller than a regular bus but always just as packed and with the same music blasting at full volume. The buseta is the people's collective taxi.
“The buseta is packed at this hour.”
“Take the buseta that goes down Seventh Avenue.”

Opa
A Bolivian insult meaning dumb, silly, naive, or someone who doesn't get things on the first try. It comes from Quechua "upa" (mute, foolish) adapted to everyday Spanish. It's used both affectionately among friends ("don't be an opa, just come already") and in more intense arguments ("you're such an opa, you couldn't even manage that"). It's the Bolivian equivalent of Mexican "güey" or Argentinian "boludo."
