Differences in Spanish as spoken in other countries

guys i'm really into learning the spanish language and i'm also into looking at the cultural aspect of words used in spanish for example charco in cuba may mean puddle but charco in puerto rico may mean a small lake or pond. there similar but have different meanings depending on where you go that are different than the standard. This fascinates me. So i'm looking over different spanish slangs that i can find, like in cuba socio means friend or pal. in spain it means business partner.Or in DOM.REP- aposento is bed room in other places aposento means chamber.

What phrases or slangs in your country are different or may be different than ones in another.
