Violetta
A musically-talented teenager returns to her native Buenos Aires after living in Europe.

Extremely common in everyday Argentine speech. Implies narrowly avoiding a consequence or getting lucky. Not inherently negative about the person using it.
Literally 'to saw someone's floor out from under them'. A vivid Argentine idiom for deliberately undermining a colleague or friend to advance at their expense. Non-compositional: the individual words give no hint of betrayal.
Literally 'to bite the hook (fishing)'. Used when someone falls for a manipulation or provocation. The Argentine form uses 'morder' where other varieties might say 'picar'.
Used to express physical exhaustion or emotional depletion. Common in casual Argentine speech.
Literally 'to cover in mud'. Used figuratively to mean getting involved in a mess or complicating a situation. The reflexive 'embarrarse' means to get oneself mixed up in trouble.
Almost always appears in the fixed phrase 'a rajatabla'. Signals rigid, non-negotiable enforcement of rules. Common across Argentina.
Listed in vocabulary for its literal meaning; included here because in Argentine everyday speech it specifically refers to a public humiliation or scandalous situation, going beyond its weather-related meaning (muggy heat) that exists in other contexts.
