/Sounds like "weh" (as in "wet") + "OHN" (as in "oh")/

A softened written form of "huevón," Chile's most versatile slang word for any person. Can be a mild insult or a term of genuine affection depending entirely on tone and context. Possibly the single most flexible and frequently used word in Chilean everyday speech.

Examples

Ese weón siempre llega tarde a todo. (That guy always shows up late to everything.)

Hard work, a tough job, or any demanding labor activity. In Colombia it's the casual way to refer to work, especially when it's physically or mentally exhausting. While it literally means "camel," Colombians use it the way Americans might say "the grind" or "the hustle.".
