/Sounds like "CHOOM" (as in "choose") + "boh" (as in "boat")/
A gun, pistol, or any firearm in Uruguayan street slang. Chumbo is Montevideo lunfardo at its most raw, no euphemisms, heard in neighborhoods where the word describes a daily reality rather than a hypothetical.
“They say he was carrying a gun.”
“The police found a firearm hidden in the car.”

Previa
A pre-game gathering to drink alcohol before heading out to the actual party in Argentina, Chile, and Uruguay. The previa is often more fun than the actual event, cheaper drinks, better music, and your closest friends.
