/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?”

Replay
A slow-motion replay of a key play during a sports broadcast, borrowed directly from English and used across Latin America and Spain. In a living room full of fans, the replay is the moment everyone stops arguing, leans toward the screen, and either erupts or goes completely silent.
