/Sounds like "gah" (as in "garden") + "ROO" (as in "rude") + "ah" (as in "art")/
A fine, persistent drizzle typical of Buenos Aires and the Río de la Plata region. Garúa never quite qualifies as real rain, but it hangs in the air all day and soaks you just the same. Also used in Peru and Ecuador for light, lingering rain.
“There was a drizzle all morning and he arrived at the office completely soaked.”
“This constant drizzle is more annoying than a proper downpour.”

Upe
In Costa Rica, the verbal equivalent of knocking: you shout "Upe!" at someone's door to announce you have arrived. It is one of the most distinctly tico customs, a cheerful verbal knock that replaces ringing a bell, especially in homes where people know each other well.
