/Sounds like "KOHM" (as in "coat") + "poo" (as in "pool")/
The short, casual way to say computer in Argentina and other Latin American countries. It's the natural abbreviation everyone uses because saying "computadora" in full sounds way too formal.
“Lend me your compu for a project.”
“My compu doesn't work anymore, I need a new one.”

Botar el chupo
In Colombia, to stop pretending to be young or innocent and let your real age or intentions show. "Chupo" means pacifier, so the image is someone literally dropping the pacifier: you cannot fake being a baby anymore. Used when someone has been trying hard to pass as younger or more naive than they clearly are.
