idiot, dumbass (also used affectionately between close friends)expressionvulgarOne of the most iconic Argentine expressions. Tone shifts entirely with context and intonation, as an insult it is cutting, between close friends it is neutral or warm. The feminine form is boluda.
¡Boludo, me dejaste esperando media hora en el frío!You idiot, you left me waiting half an hour in the cold!
