/Sounds like "KOOM" (as in "cool") + "pah" (as in "park")/
A close companion or trusted friend, short for "compañero." Cumpa carries real warmth and genuine camaraderie. Used in Argentina and Uruguay to address someone you truly count on, especially in long-term friendships, work teams, or political organizing circles.
“¿Cómo estás, cumpa? (Hey, how are you doing, buddy?)”
“Ese cumpa mío me ayudó cuando más lo necesitaba, sin pedir nada a cambio. (That friend of mine helped me out when I needed it most, without asking for anything in return.)”

Paca
Money, especially a big impressive wad of bills in Mexico. A paca is a fat stack of cash that looks imposing, the kind of roll you only see in movies or in your dreams.
