Safo
/Sounds like "SAH" (as in "salsa") + "foh" (as in "foam")/
A shout of immunity that gets you out of doing something nobody wants to do. In Mexico, the first person to yell "¡Safo!" is automatically exempt from the task. Works for errands, cleaning, paying, or any chore where someone has to take one for the team. Speed is everything.
“Who's going to the store for beers? Safo! Not me!”
“Someone has to wash the dishes. Safo! Too slow, that's on you.”

Cerote
Friend, buddy, or close person in Guatemala and El Salvador. Here "cerote" is affectionate among friends, completely opposite to its use as an insult in Mexico where it refers to a piece of excrement. Context and country are everything with this word.
