Worth remembering from this episode

pack / multi-unit product bundlenoun (masculine, loanword)El supermercado solo vende ese champú en pack de tres.The supermarket only sells that shampoo in a three-pack.quilombo
mess / chaos / complicated situationexpressioncolloquialOne of the most frequent Argentine colloquialisms. Originally a historical term but now used daily to describe any disorder, complication, or dramatic situation. Slightly vulgar in formal contexts but unremarkable in casual speech.
El tránsito en el centro era un quilombo total, tardé una hora en llegar.The traffic downtown was a total mess, it took me an hour to get there.vacante
school enrollment spot / vacancynoun (feminine)Ya empezó marzo y todavía no conseguimos vacante para el nene.March has already started and we still haven't secured a school spot for the boy.donante
donor (here: sperm donor)noun (masculine/feminine)La clínica te da información básica sobre el donante anónimo.The clinic gives you basic information about the anonymous donor.panza
belly / pregnant bellynoun (feminine)Ya se le nota la panza a los seis meses.Her belly is already showing at six months.bronca
anger / frustration / being fed upexpressioncolloquialVery common in everyday Argentine speech. 'Me agarró la bronca' or 'me broté' (also in this episode) both express losing one's patience. Can range from mild irritation to serious anger depending on context.
Me agarró una bronca terrible cuando vi que me habían cobrado de más.I got really frustrated when I saw they had overcharged me.adaptación

boludito
little idiot / dummy (diminutive, here used sarcastically or as a mild insult)expressionvulgarDiminutive of 'boludo'. The -ito suffix softens the tone slightly and can make it affectionate between close friends or, as here, ironically cutting. Context determines whether it is endearing or offensive. Core Argentine vocabulary.
Me llamó boludito porque no entendí la broma, pero se rió.He called me a little dummy because I didn't get the joke, but he laughed.pajero
lazy person / someone who wastes time on trivial things (colloquial insult)expressionvulgarUsed here to mock someone for a frivolous or self-interested move. The primary literal meaning is vulgar, but as a general insult or teasing label it is extremely common in informal Argentine speech and does not always carry the full vulgar weight.
¡Qué pajero este! Tiene todo el día libre y no hizo nada.What a time-waster! He had the whole day free and didn't do a thing.
