/Sounds like "sah" (as in "salsa") + "lah" (as in "lava") + "MEEN" (as in "me")/
In Uruguay, a lighthearted insult for someone who is naive, clueless, or does absurd things without realizing it. It is a mild, almost affectionate jab among friends, similar to calling someone a goofball.
“Don't be a salamín, I told you it was a joke.”
“I looked like a total salamín waiting for him two hours and he never showed.”

Sacarle
To chicken out or back down from something out of fear in Mexico. If you "le sacas," you lose your nerve at the last second.
