/Sounds like "ROO-foh"/

A Panamanian expression meaning something is good, cool, perfect, or "sure, I agree." "Rufo" works as a positive affirmation: when someone proposes something and you like the idea, the response is "rufo." It's also used as an adjective ("el plan está rufo" = the plan is cool) or as an emotional state ("estoy rufo" = I'm good). It's a youthful word, very common in contemporary Panamanian urban slang.

Example

"¿Vamos a la playa? Rufo, cuenta conmigo. → Beach trip? Cool, I'm in."

"El restaurante nuevo está rufo. → The new restaurant is great."
