Gao
/Sounds like "GAH" (as in "garden") + "oh" (as in "oh")/
A Cuban street-slang word for house or home, drawn from caló. "Vamos pa' el gao" means let's go home, and "en el gao" means at home. Casual, youthful, and full of neighborhood identity: using it signals you know the street register of the island.
“Let's head home; it's pouring out there.”
“I'll wait for you at home at eight; don't be late.”
