Upa
/Sounds like "OO" (as in "Uber") + "pah" (as in "park")/
An exclamation of surprise in Argentina and Uruguay, especially when something unexpected happens suddenly. Also said when picking up a small child, that affectionate upa every mom does.
“Upa, I almost fell!”
“Upa, I didn't know you were there.”

Ser un pelmazo
In Spain, an insufferably tiresome and persistent person who never reads the room. A pelmazo latches on, goes on and on about the same topic, and genuinely cannot tell that everyone around them checked out long ago. The word comes from "pelma," a dense sticky mass, which is exactly how it feels to be around one.
