Opa
/Sounds like "OH" (as in "oh") + "pah" (as in "park")/
A Bolivian insult meaning dumb, silly, naive, or someone who doesn't get things on the first try. It comes from Quechua "upa" (mute, foolish) adapted to everyday Spanish. It's used both affectionately among friends ("don't be an opa, just come already") and in more intense arguments ("you're such an opa, you couldn't even manage that"). It's the Bolivian equivalent of Mexican "güey" or Argentinian "boludo."
“Don't be a dummy, obviously I'm joking with you.”
“What a fool, the guy.”

Jale
A job, or the action of going somewhere in Mexico. It's used both for your daily employment and to invite someone to come along: '¿Le jalas?' means 'You coming?' in pure street language.
