coger
to have sexexpressionvulgarIn Argentine Spanish, 'coger' almost exclusively means to have sex and is considered vulgar. This is important to know because in other contexts in the world the verb means simply 'to grab' or 'to take', but that innocent meaning is essentially absent here.
Ese chisme de que habían cogido en la oficina llegó a todos lados.That gossip about them having slept together at the office spread everywhere.pelotudo
idiot, stupid (person)expressionvulgarOne of the most common vulgar insults in Argentine Spanish. Can range from affectionate ribbing between close friends to a genuine insult depending entirely on tone and relationship. Using it toward a stranger or superior is always offensive.
¡Qué pelotudo soy, dejé las llaves adentro del auto!What an idiot I am, I left the keys inside the car!
