/Sounds like "FOO" (as in "food") + "treh" (as in "tread")/

Meaning

Someone who dresses elegantly and pretentiously, carrying themselves as if they are upper class and subtly looking down on everyone else. In Uruguay and Chile, a futre is overdressed for the occasion and walks around like they own the place.

Examples

Llegó todo de futre a la milonga, con traje y todo.

He showed up to the milonga in a full suit, acting like a total dandy.

No seas futre y bájate del podio un poco.

Don't be such a snob, come down from your pedestal a bit.

To go out partying, hit the night with friends, drinking and dancing until sunrise. Used in Ecuador, Bolivia, and Peru, it comes from "farra" (party) turned into a verb. Monday conversations in these countries are basically just people comparing their farreo stories.
