gil

/ˈxil/ · B1 · adj

person, dude, guy

🤡 Sounds like heel: calling a guy a heel means he's a jerk or a fool

Gil is said like English heel, and in English a heel is a man who behaves badly. In Argentina and Uruguay it works like boludo: an insult for a naive guy or a jerk, but among friends it can just mean dude.
