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.”

Flaite
A vulgar, trashy, or street smart person with bad manners in Chile. It's a derogatory term describing a specific social stereotype, similar to "chav" in British English or "ratchet" in American slang. Being called a flaite in Chile is definitely not a compliment, it implies loud, aggressive, and classless behavior.
