Bandera de Chile

/FRI-o co-mo el O-yo/

A Chilean expression for extreme cold, especially in the southern part of the country. The perfect hyperbole for the low temperatures a Chilean feels when the thermometer drops below what's comfortable.

Example

"In Punta Arenas it's freezing cold, you can't imagine it."

"I went out and it was absolutely freezing — I was dying."
