/Sounds like "pah" (as in "park") + "POO" (as in "pool") + "sah" (as in "salsa")/
In Buenos Aires lunfardo, a very beautiful and attractive woman. "Papusa" has been in use for over a century, born in the immigrant neighborhoods of the Río de la Plata and woven into classic tango lyrics. It is an admiring term with no aggression: the kind of compliment the city exhales naturally.
“Esa mina es una papusa, no le saco los ojos de encima. (That woman is stunning, I can't take my eyes off her.)”
“Llegó al baile la papusa del barrio y todos giraron. (The neighborhood beauty walked into the dance and every head turned.)”

Hood
Chicano Spanglish for one's own neighborhood, borrowed from English "neighborhood." Saying "soy del hood" carries pride and identity rooted in where you grew up, common among Latino communities in the US.
