/Sounds like "soh" (as in "solo") + "syoh" + "LEES" (as in "lead") + "moh" (as in "more")/
A Cuban portmanteau of "socio" (buddy) and "socialismo" (socialism). It describes the practice of getting things done through personal contacts rather than official channels, which in Cuba tends to work far more reliably than going through the system.
“Nothing works here without connections.”
“I got the spare part thanks to who-you-know: a friend knew the person in charge.”
