Regional synonyms

A fan of Los Bukis or Marco Antonio Solís, or someone who's overly sentimental and romantic, the kind of person who suffers for love like a classic Bukis ballad. In Mexico, calling someone "buki" means they're being dramatic about heartbreak, probably listening to sad love songs and refusing to move on. It's half teasing, half affectionate.
