Palo
/Sounds like "PAH" (as in "park") + "loh" (as in "loan")/
In Colombia and Chile, one million pesos. Instead of saying "un millón" with all those zeros, people just say "un palo." It makes talking about big sums way more casual in everyday conversation about salaries, prices, and purchases.
“Ese coche vale treinta palos, no está nada mal. (That car costs thirty million pesos, not bad at all.)”
“Gana como cinco palos al mes. (He makes about five million a month.)”
