tufo
  12

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.
