/Sounds like "TOW" + "rah" (as in "rapper")/
In Uruguay, a brave, bold, fearless person who does not back down from anything. Taura is a street compliment for someone who handles pressure with grit, faces danger head-on, and never flinches. Being called a taura means people respect your nerve.
“Ese tío es un taura, se metió solo contra cuatro.”
“That guy is fearless, he stood his ground alone against four people.”
“Para ese trabajo hay que ser taura, no es para cualquiera.”
“You have to have real guts for that job, it's not for everyone.”

Fiambre
A corpse, a dead body. In Argentina, 'fiambre' is the darkly humorous lunfardo term for a dead person, borrowed from the word for cold cuts. The humor is very Argentine: blunt, morbid, and delivered with complete deadpan. Not used in polite company.
