Bandera de Uruguay

/Sounds like "PEE" (as in "peek") + "beh" (as in "bed" without "d")/

In Uruguay it's used like in Argentina, but with a more relaxed, laid-back Uruguayan vibe. It refers to a young person, kid, or dude, and it's central to the Rioplatense way of speaking.

Example

"That kid plays soccer really well."

"What's up dude, how's it going?"
