Una desilusión, una canción

Literally 'from the opposite sidewalk'. Used figuratively to mean someone who is always on the other side of an argument or allegiance, not a literal neighbor. Common in Argentine conversational speech.

Argentine expression describing a person who sabotages colleagues or rivals to climb over them. The image is of sawing through the floor beneath someone so they fall. Used as a noun.

Argentine variant of fighting fiercely to defend something. Equivalent to 'tooth and nail' in English but the phrasing is 'with teeth and nails' rather than 'tooth and nail'. Used to signal fierce determination.

Fixed exclamatory phrase used when chaos or danger breaks out and everyone scrambles. It can be used literally in a frightening situation or humorously when something goes comically wrong.

Almost always used in the negative or with an impatient tone: 'no tengo todo el día' signals urgency or impatience. Here it appears in that impatient context from an authority figure.
