Goma
/Sounds like "GOH" (as in "go") + "mah" (as in "mark")/
An eraser for removing pencil marks in Argentina, Chile, and Spain. Careful: in Costa Rica 'goma' means a hangover, and in other contexts it can mean something completely different.
“Lend me your eraser, I made a mistake.”
“The eraser is already too tiny to use.”

Paltón
In Peru, someone who gets embarrassed easily, shrinks from attention, or plays dumb out of shyness. A paltón holds back from asking for what they want, speaking up, or joining in because they are too worried about looking silly or drawing attention to themselves.
