The everyday Argentine word for popcorn. Not guessable from Spanish roots alone for most learners.

Very common positive evaluative adjective in Argentine informal speech. Broadly positive but not guessable from its dictionary root.

An Argentine Spanish verb formed from the English word 'look' (as in style or outfit). Used in youth/fashion contexts to mean dressing or styling oneself or others in a particular aesthetic.

A fixed reflexive phrase meaning to manage or scheme one's way through a situation. The 'la' is a fixed part of the idiom and does not refer to any noun.

Borrowed from the Superman universe, used figuratively to describe a person or thing that makes someone act irrationally or lose their composure. Common in informal Argentine speech.

Used figuratively to call someone fearful or cowardly. The literal meaning is 'hen', but in this context it functions exactly like 'chicken' in English slang, calling someone out for lacking courage.

In the context of group membership or employment, 'estar a prueba' means being on a trial or probationary period, not yet a full member. Different from 'la prueba' (the test).
