/Sounds like "DYAH-bloh ROH-hoh"/
The Panamanian nickname for old public transit buses, painted in bright colors, with psychedelic murals, religious images, and proper names written on the front. They're cultural icons of Panama City: recycled American school buses turned into rolling art. Though they've been gradually phased out, they remain a symbol of national identity. "Tomar un diablo rojo" means using informal public transport, with music at full volume.
"Me tocó viajar en diablo rojo. → I had to ride a diablo rojo."
"El diablo rojo tenía pintado a Michael Jackson. → The diablo rojo had Michael Jackson painted on the back."

Caña
A hangover, the miserable morning after drinking too much alcohol. In Chile and Spain, "tener caña" means you're suffering from headaches, nausea, and deep regret, that awful feeling that makes you swear you'll never drink again, until next weekend.
