cagón
coward, chicken (someone who doesn't act on their feelings or decisions)expressionvulgarLiterally relates to defecation, but functionally means someone who lacks the guts to do something they want or should do. Very common in heated arguments between people who know each other well. The sting comes from implying the person is failing themselves, not just others.
Eso que querés hacer, hacelo. No seas cagón.That thing you want to do, just do it. Don't be a coward.boluda
idiot, dummy (self-directed: 'what was I thinking')expressionvulgarIn Argentine speech, boludo/boluda has a very wide register range. Between close friends it can be almost an affectionate filler; directed at oneself it expresses exasperation at one's own naivety. In tense or accusatory contexts it sharpens into a real insult. Frequency and tone are everything.
Qué boluda que soy, dejé las llaves adentro del auto de nuevo.What an idiot I am, I left the keys inside the car again.
