/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.”

Avivado
In Argentina, someone who uses their cleverness to get ahead, often by bending the rules or taking advantage of other people's oversights. Depending on context it can be said with a hint of admiration or mild criticism. The avivado plays the system and usually wins.
