/Sounds like "LAH" (as in "lava") + "PROH" (as in "pro") + "moh" (as in "more")/

Meaning

The promotion playoff that decides whether an Argentine football club stays in their division or gets relegated, pitting the weakest team against one from the division below. Playing "la promo" is a nerve-wracking nightmare.

Regional synonyms
