/Sounds like "hoo" (as in "who") + "LEH" (as in "let") + "peh" (as in "pet")/
A scare, a fright that makes your heart jump. In Uruguay and Argentina a julepe is that intense moment of sudden fear, the kind that leaves you shaking.
“The thunder gave me such a scare I spilled my mate.”
“What a fright! I thought I was going to get robbed.”

Arrechera
Intense rage, burning frustration, or deep anger that has hit its boiling point. In Venezuela and Colombia, "arrechera" is that moment when everything has gone wrong and your patience has officially expired. Saying someone has an arrechera means they are furious in a way that is hard to contain.
