Fulo
/Sounds like "FOO" (as in "food") + "loh" (as in "loan")/
A fair-skinned, blonde, or red-haired person. Used casually in Panama, Costa Rica, and Honduras, "fulo" is not an insult, just an everyday physical descriptor. In places where most people have darker features, a fulo stands out and the nickname tends to stick for life.
“That new blond kid in class is supposedly the son of an American.”
“The fair-skinned girl on the corner always gets burned in summer.”
