/Sounds like "ehs" (as in "egg") + "TAHR" (as in "tar") + "poh" (as in "port") + "DREE" (as in "dreary") + "doh" (as in "door") + "EHN" (as in "egg") + "PLAH" (as in "plan") + "tah" (as in "tar")/
To be filthy rich in Argentina and Uruguay, to have so much money you literally do not know what to do with it. The expression translates to "rotting in money," painting a vivid picture of someone drowning in wealth. Often used with a hint of resentment or admiration, especially when the rich person is also stingy.
“The factory owner is filthy rich.”
“He's loaded and he's still a cheapskate.”

Pelota
A sycophant who flatters those in power to get ahead, the classic yes-man who celebrates even his boss's mistakes. In Colombia and Venezuela, pelota is synonymous with "lambón" or "lame botas": someone who never has their own opinion, only whatever the boss thinks.
