/Sounds like "FOH" (as in "foam") + "meh" (as in "met")/

Meaning

Boring, dull, or completely lacking in fun. In Chile, "fome" is the go-to word for anything that generates zero enthusiasm: a tedious meeting, a dead party, or a person who just cannot loosen up and join in.

Examples

That talk was so boring, nobody was paying attention after the first fifteen minutes.

Do not be boring, come join us for the weekend plans.

A classic Chilean fresh salsa made with cilantro, onion, green chili, and tomato, dressed with oil and lemon juice. It goes on everything: bread, grilled meat, cazuela stew. No Chilean cookout is complete without it.
