Rula
/Sounds like "ROO" (as in "rude") + "lah" (as in "lava")/
A knife or blade, especially one carried in rough street contexts in Colombia. "Rula" is street-level vocabulary for a weapon that nobody wants to see come out. Part of the urban Colombian slang world tied to barrio culture.
“They stopped him at the entrance because he was carrying a knife.”
“They say he was walking around with a blade but nobody saw him take it out.”
