/Sounds like "FOON" (as in "food") + "yee" (as in "year")/
A hat, in Buenos Aires lunfardo slang. From the Italian "funghi" (mushrooms), named for the rounded shape of a bowler hat. One of the classic Italianisms of Rioplatense street language, still alive in tango and the vintage vocabulary of Buenos Aires.
“Grandpa always went out wearing his hat, never left without it.”
“Where did you get that hat? It looks really sharp.”

Broma
In Venezuela, broma isn't just a joke, it's any thing or object whose name you can't remember. It's the perfect wildcard word for when you don't know what something's called.
