Papi
/Sounds like "PAH" (as in "park") + "pee" (as in "pea")/
Meaning
An affectionate or flirty way to refer to an attractive man, common across the Caribbean and Mexico. It can be totally innocent and familiar, or a fairly direct compliment. Everything depends on the tone, the context, and who is saying it.
Examples
“Hey papi, you are looking really good today.”
“That guy is seriously attractive, no question about it.”
