A rich girl or a woman who acts like she's upper class in Argentina, typically associated with designer clothes, expensive tastes, and a snobby attitude. You can spot a cheta from a mile away by how she talks, where she eats, and the places she hangs out. It's the feminine form of "cheto."
Something cool, chill, nice, or a person who's laid back and easy going. In Argentina, Chile, and Uruguay it's used to describe both positive things and people who keep a low profile without creating drama. Telling someone to "quedarse piola" means to stay quiet and not stir things up.
To go way overboard trying to impress or please someone who doesn't return your feelings, basically being a simp in Spanish. Borrowed from the English internet slang 'simp,' it spread across Latin American and Spanish social media to describe someone who bends over backwards for a person who couldn't care less about them.
An expression of shock or bewilderment, like being left completely speechless by something unexpected. It comes from the Chilean and Argentine comic strip Condorito, where characters literally fall flat on the ground with a 'plop' when something absurd happens. Used when reality hits you so hard you don't even know how to respond.
Outshining someone with your physical appearance, presence, or superior attractiveness without even trying. From gym and fitness culture where your mere existence makes everyone else look worse by comparison. It's the same English internet slang term adopted into Spanish, especially popular among younger guys obsessed with fitness and self improvement.
