/Sounds like "soo" (as in "soup") + "PLEHN" (as in "plenty") + "teh" (as in "ten")/
A substitute player who does not start the game but is ready to enter at any moment. Across Spain and Latin America, being a suplente means waiting for your chance on the bench, and sometimes that wait ends with the most important play of the whole match.
“The sub came on at minute 60 and scored the winner.”
“He has been on the bench for three games in a row and is already losing patience.”

Lesear
To mess around, joke, waste time on nonsense, or playfully bother someone. In Chile, 'lesear' covers everything from lighthearted goofing off to genuinely getting in someone's way. Among friends it's harmless fun; when you're supposed to be working, it's a problem.
