Holi
/Sounds like "OH" (as in "oh") + "lee" (as in "lead")/
A cute, youthful, deliberately cheesy version of 'hola' used in texts and social media. It softens any conversation and is perfect for breaking the ice without sounding too serious.
“Holi, how are you?”
“She sent me a 'holi' and it made my day.”

Cholito
An affectionate term for someone of indigenous or humble Andean origin, used in Bolivia and Peru. Between lifelong friends from the same community it carries real warmth, but the same word can feel loaded with class and race dynamics when said by an outsider. Tone and relationship change everything.
