/Sounds like "hweh" + "POO" (as in "pool") + "chah" (as in "chat")/
A polite Colombian euphemism for a much stronger expression, used to show surprise, frustration, or amazement in public or around family. The acceptable version you reach for when you cannot say the real word.
“Dang it, I completely forgot my mom's birthday!”
“Holy cow! How did you pull that off on your own?”

Chamo
The quintessential Venezuelan word for friend, buddy, or dude. It's to Venezuelans what "güey" is to Mexicans, you'll hear it in almost every sentence. Used affectionately between friends of any gender.
