/Sounds like "ROO" (as in "rude") + "loh" (as in "loan")/

Meaning

In Colombia and Ecuador, a naturally curly lock of hair that spirals on its own. Rulo describes those loose, bouncy curls people either style intentionally or are just born with. The word is warm and descriptive, not a judgment.

Examples

Se le salió un rulo del moño y el efecto quedó muy bien. (A curl slipped out of her bun and it looked great.)

Tiene unos rulos naturales que resultan difíciles de lograr artificialmente. (She has natural curls that are nearly impossible to fake.)

The short, casual way to say computer in Argentina and other Latin American countries. It's the natural abbreviation everyone uses because saying "computadora" in full sounds way too formal.
