/Sounds like "doh" (as in "door") + "mah" (as in "mark") + "DOHR" (as in "door")/
Someone with the skill to control, calm, or manage tense situations and difficult personalities. Used figuratively in Argentina and Uruguay with a tone of admiration or humor, like a lion tamer who walks into chaos and somehow brings everyone back to earth.
“Necesitamos un domador de situaciones para esa reunión con el cliente.”
“We need someone who can tame the room for that client meeting.”
“Ese tipo es un domador, en diez minutos ya tenía a todos tranquilos.”
“That guy is a natural, he had everyone calmed down in ten minutes.”

Misio
Flat broke, completely out of cash until payday. Used in Peru, Chile, and Bolivia, "misio" is the casual, unapologetic way to say you have hit the financial wall. Not a crisis, just the universal end-of-month condition that everyone gets.
