/Sounds like "FYEH" + "breh" (as in "bread")/
An obsession or craze that someone just cannot stop talking about. In Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic, when someone has la fiebre de algo, they bring it up in every conversation whether anyone asked or not. Think of it as being completely hooked on something.
“He is totally obsessed with the gym, goes every single day and talks about nothing else.”
“He caught the sneaker bug and now has like twenty pairs sitting in boxes.”

Chake
Watch out! or Careful!, a Guaraní-origin warning used in Paraguay to alert someone of incoming danger. 'Chake' is fast, urgent, and unmistakable, it snaps people to attention before explaining why. The word itself sounds like a warning.
