/Sounds like "LAH" (as in "lava") + "PLEH" (as in "plenty") + "nah" (as in "nacho")/
In Puerto Rico, the plain truth, what is actually happening with no exaggeration or spin. Saying "eso es la plena" is as solid as swearing on it: you are vouching for something with full conviction.
“I'm telling you straight up, that guy is no good for you and you'll see it soon.”
“That's the honest truth, I saw it with my own eyes and there's no debate.”

Floro
Chatter, verbal flourish, or speech full of empty promises in Peruvian Spanish. "Ese tipo es puro floro" means that guy talks a lot but doesn't deliver. "Echar floro" means saying pretty words to convince or flirt without real intent. Used critically toward elaborate but empty talkers, the politician making promises, or the smooth talker who only drops pickup lines without backup.
