Meaning of tufo

Danilo Enrique Noreña Benítez

tufo

  14

It means steam, vapour, stende, smoke, gas emanation, smell. In Colombia it is usually an unpleasant smell and almost always referred to the bad smell emitted by a person who has ingested liquor. It can be considered a synonym for vanity, pride, petulancy, pedantry, presumption, but in Colombia the term tufillo is more used in this regard.

  

furoya

Soda emanation with unpleasant odor; any kind of bad smell. Annoyance caused by the tufo, and by extension any discomfort. In the Latin antecedent Tufus it also meant "infulas, pride", but it did not become popular in Spanish, which maintained the remote Greek origin of 964; 965; 966; 959; 962; ( typhos "smoke, steam" ) . See also atufar, railing, stendron, wind, catinga.
