Un amigo, una canción

Typical Argentine informal word for a guy or bloke. Used between friends without any negative charge. Feminine form is 'chabona'.

In Argentine usage this word carries a strong negative connotation: someone who agrees with everything their boss or superior says in an overly eager, servile way. It goes well beyond the neutral dictionary sense of 'obliging'.

Used as an insult in Argentine Spanish, calling someone a 'sapo' implies they are a gossip, a sneak, or someone who meddles in others' business and reports back. The literal animal meaning is not intended.

A dismissive, somewhat derogatory Argentine term used to describe a girl or woman considered to be vulgar, low-class, or unrefined. It is typically used as an insult by characters who consider themselves socially superior.

Literally means 'fasting' or 'having not eaten', but used colloquially to complain or emphasize that someone is doing something difficult without having had food first. Common in everyday speech.

Used to describe someone who has become arrogant or conceited after achieving fame, success, or a new status. Equivalent to the English 'let it go to their head'.

Estar 'a prueba' means to be in a probationary or trial period, where one's continued participation, job, or status depends on meeting certain expectations.

Used to describe the effect a person has on another when they cause a strong emotional or romantic reaction. 'Me movió el piso' implies someone left you unsettled, excited, or deeply affected.
