/Sounds like "PEE" (as in "pea") + "yoh" (as in "yoke")/
A thief, crook, or untrustworthy person with bad intentions. This is the most widespread meaning outside Colombia: someone you shouldn't leave alone with your wallet. In Spain and the Southern Cone, calling someone "pillo" is not a compliment.
“Don't leave your wallet near him, that guy is a crook.”
“Even as a kid he was a little thief stealing at the market.”
/Sounds like "PEE" (as in "pea") + "yoh" (as in "yoke")/
A cunning, charming person who always reads the room and finds the angle that works in their favor. In Colombia, Venezuela, Spain, and the Dominican Republic, a pillo is not necessarily a crook, but they are sly enough that you should keep one eye open around them.
“That sly one always knows how to get his way without ever looking bad.”
“He is a charming trickster, everyone likes him but you have to watch out.”

Té
An herbal or floral hot drink taken as an alternative to coffee. Every country has its own relationship with it: in Argentina it competes with mate in the afternoons, while in Mexico chamomile tea is the go-to home remedy for practically everything.
