/Sounds like "BOO" (as in "boot") + "teh" (as in "ten")/

Meaning

A Chicano and Mexican adverb that dials whatever follows it up to the maximum. "Bute chilo" is top-tier cool, "bute suave" is totally chill, "bute gacho" is really bad. Comes from Pachuco calo and still rolls through the barrio. Works like "super" but with street flavor.

Examples

That concert was top-tier cool, you never forget it.

It really stung that she did not invite me.

Regional synonyms

An upper-class woman in Chile who flaunts her status with designer clothes and an air of superiority. It's the feminine version of 'cuico' and is used in a derogatory way.
