/Sounds like "pah" (as in "park") + "TOH" (as in "toll") + "hohs" (as in "hope")/
Kids, children, or young people. In Guatemala, patojo is the everyday word for a child or teenager, completely neutral and natural in any conversation. Not formal, not rude, just what locals naturally call young people.
“Los patojos de la vecindad juegan pelota hasta que oscurece.”
“The neighborhood kids play soccer until it gets dark.”
“Esos patojos son traviesos pero se portan bien en la escuela.”
“Those kids are mischievous but they actually behave at school.”

Rescatado
Someone who is way too intense, has zero social filter, and constantly crosses the line. In Argentina, a "rescatado" is that person who always does or says something completely out of place without caring how it looks, like drinking all the beer at a party or making inappropriate comments at dinner with your parents.
