Bandera de Estados Unidos
Bandera de México

/Sounds like "BOO-teh"/

A Chicano and Mexican adverb that dials whatever comes after it up to the max. "Bute chilo" is top-tier cool, "bute suave" is totally chill, "bute pinche" is really ugly. Comes out of Pachuco caló and still rolls through the barrio. Works like a "super" but with street flavor. If you don't believe the compliment when they say it, when you hear "bute" in front, now you have to buy it.

Example

"Ese concierto estuvo bute chilo. → That concert was top-tier cool."

"Me cayó bute gacho que no me invitara. → It really stung that she didn't invite me."

Regional synonyms:

A rich girl or a woman who acts like she's upper class in Argentina, typically associated with designer clothes, expensive tastes, and a snobby attitude. You can spot a cheta from a mile away by how she talks, where she eats, and the places she hangs out. It's the feminine form of "cheto.".
