A stupid, thoughtless person who constantly does dumb things. The 'termo' (thermos) refers to having an empty head like a hollow container with nothing inside.
To steal or swipe, usually small things. It is Argentine street slang that sounds a bit lighter than "robar" (to rob) but means the same thing. Think of it as the equivalent of saying someone "lifted" or "swiped" something. It is common in everyday Buenos Aires slang, especially when talking about petty theft on public transport or in crowded areas.
To talk a lot and nonstop, usually about unimportant things with no clear direction. It's the art of filling silence with empty words — those endless conversations where a lot is said but nothing is communicated.
To eat in a casual, laid-back way in Argentina and Uruguay. It's the informal verb for chowing down without pretension — just you and your food, no judgment.
To eat a lot or with great enthusiasm, devouring everything in sight with impressive speed. It implies eating with gusto and zero restraint — quantity over elegance.
