Yapo
/Sounds like "YAH" (as in "yard") + "poh" (as in "port")/
A Chilean all-purpose "yes" or "sure thing," formed by contracting "ya" (already/okay) with the filler "poh" (a softened "pues"). It seals agreements with a warm, casual vibe that is very typical of Chilean informal speech. Think of it as "yeah, sure" with extra friendliness.
“You coming to the party tonight? Yapo, count me in.”
“Yapo, I'll wait for you at the entrance at eight.”

Diache
An exclamation of surprise, shock, or disapproval used in Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic. "Diache" is the polite, softened version of a stronger word, but the emotion behind it is just as real. Think "damn!" or "whoa!" with full Caribbean energy.
