boludo
idiot, fool; also used as a filler between friends (similar to 'dude')expressionvulgarOne of the most versatile and frequent words in Argentine informal speech. Between close friends it functions as a neutral, affectionate address term with no insult intended. Said to a stranger or in anger, it is a genuine insult. Context and tone are everything.
Boludo, ¿por qué no me avisaste que había que llevar efectivo?Dude, why didn't you tell me we had to bring cash?garca
dishonest person, scammer, lowlifeexpressionvulgarReversal of 'carga' in lunfardo. Extremely common in Buenos Aires. The degree of offence varies by tone, it can be a serious accusation or a mild complaint between friends. 'Garca de cometas' (kite-flying scammer) implies a petty cheat, while just 'garca' with emphasis implies serious moral failing.
No le prestes plata a ese tipo, es un garca que nunca devuelve nada.Don't lend money to that guy, he's a lowlife who never pays anything back.cogible
fuckable, sexually attractive enough to sleep withexpressionvulgarDerived from 'coger', which in Argentina means 'to have sex'. Blunt and crude, the shock value is intentional in context. Would be jarring in mixed company or formal settings.
No te voy a mentir, la pregunta de si alguien te parece cogible es bastante directa.I'm not going to lie to you, the question of whether you find someone fuckable is pretty blunt.
