The Black Plague

Characteristic of Rioplatense speech (Argentina/Uruguay). Its appearance here signals a character's Argentine background. In that register it ranges from playful ribbing to a genuine insult depending on relationship and tone.

Another marker of Argentine Spanish on this show. Refers to something trivial, dumb, or absurd. Signals the speaker's frustration.

A fixed compound expression (literally 'make-me-laugh'). Used to describe someone or something that has become the target of public mockery. Common in spoken and written Spanish.
