/Sounds like "weh" (as in "west") + "OHN" (as in "oh")/
Chile's most versatile word, functioning as a filler, an insult, or a term of endearment depending entirely on tone. Between friends it is a warm greeting; said in anger it is a genuine insult. Works much like "boludo" in Argentina or "güey" in Mexico, the context does all the heavy lifting.
“Nice one, dude! How are you doing?”
“Don't be an idiot, that was obvious from the start.”

Pulseada
In Argentina and Uruguay, a direct head-to-head contest where pride and ego are fully on the line. A pulseada is not a physical fight but a battle of wills: neither side wants to back down, and neither will, no matter how long the standoff drags on.
