Join Hablaaa and add the expression no one else has documented.

/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.

Friend, buddy, or bro. The signature Cuban way to address a close friend, equivalent to "bro" or "man" in English. Its origin is linked to the Yoruba word "asere," a ritual greeting. You will hear it constantly in Cuban speech, especially in greetings like "que vola, asere?"
