ó: It is - obviously - an 'o' letter with a sharp accent. Although no longer recommended by the RAE, it has a very specific use as an adverse conjunction between numbers, to avoid being confused with a zero ( 0 ). It is useful when writing by hand, with "paper and pencil", and not so much in printing where typography can show an obvious difference. In languages where graphic ticks do not exist, a zero-crossed-one-line design is used, which is similar to the O with bar 'A' , or the Tibetan mean zero '3891;', but of course they are not the same.

pebete: 1st_ Aromatic paste to burn .

compadrito: In principle it is a diminutive of compadre; but in Rosario and in the Río de la Plata (Argentina and Uruguay) it was a social type until well into the twentieth century. Let's remember that "compadre" was an affectionate and respectful way of being called among slum porteños, usually thugs or handsome, and that ended up almost as a generic name. The 'compadrito' was a derogatory nickname to those who were not from Buenos Aires imitated the handsome porteño, but in its worst characteristics; he was the commonly called "badly entertained gaucho" who lived or worked in the city, who ended his nights drunk and provoked knife fights. As a discriminatory form he came to name the porteño who lived in the suburbs because his economic condition could not afford to pay for a piece in the center. Over time it became synonymous with malevolent, and even took the nickname with pride.

echar un polvo: It is a locution with various meanings, some clearer such as "suckcocaine" or in the nineteenth century "aspirating snuff", but the most used is to "maintain a sexual relationship".

The excuse of going to (snuff) often disguised an encounter between lovers; until this became the most common situation, and the phrase became an irony used to this day.
