/Sounds like "LEE" (as in "lead") + "soh" (as in "solo")/

Meaning

A small draft beer, the Uruguayan equivalent of a "cana" in Spain or a small pour in Argentina. The standard size when you stop at a Montevideo bar after work and order a cold one. No fuss, just a short glass of draught.

Examples

Give me a small draft, please.

We had a few small beers at the corner bar.

To scold someone hard, to chew someone out. In Mexico, "echar bronca" is the quintessential Mexican scolding, the kind that leaves you shaking. It's when someone, usually a boss, parent, or authority figure, lets you have it for something you did wrong, and you just stand there taking it.
