Celu
/Sounds like "SEH" (as in "set") + "loo" (as in "loop")/
Short for celular (cell phone) in Argentina and Uruguay. The bodily extension you take everywhere, check every five minutes out of pure reflex, and panic about the moment the battery dies.
“Have you seen where I left my phone? I have been looking everywhere.”
“My phone died right when I needed it the most.”

Ñapa
A little extra thrown in for free. From the Quechua word "yapa," meaning something added on top, ñapa is the bonus the vendor tosses in after you have already paid: an extra piece of fruit, an extra piece of candy, a little something to thank you for your business. A small gesture with a big cultural weight in Peru and other Andean countries.
