/Sounds like "DEH" (as in "debt") + "reh" (as in "red") + "PEHN" (as in "pet") + "teh" (as in "ten")/
In Peru, "de repente" means "maybe" or "perhaps," not "suddenly" like in the rest of the Spanish-speaking world. It is a classic false friend that trips up every foreigner in Lima when a Peruvian casually says "de repente voy" and means they might show up, not that they are about to appear.
“Maybe I will come by your place tomorrow, I am not sure yet.”
“Maybe it will rain this afternoon, bring an umbrella just in case.”

Dólar blue
The US dollar traded on Argentina's parallel or informal market, outside the official exchange rate. "Blue" comes from the color of the bill. The blue rate often differs dramatically from the official rate and is a constant topic of conversation in everyday Argentine life.
