To walk a lot, cover long distances on foot, or roam across a whole area. Can also mean to reject someone or something — like kicking a job offer away when a better one comes along.
A simple, affordable restaurant with generous portions and no pretensions. The Argentine bodegón doesn't have fancy decor but it has the biggest milanesas in the world — the experience is genuine and no-nonsense.
A nighttime stroll with no fixed destination. In classic Rioplatense slang it can also refer to a sex worker. In everyday use it simply means wandering around.
A woman who is excellent, outstanding, or highly skilled at what she does. The feminine form of 'groso' in Argentine slang — a woman who impresses with her ability or attitude.
An epic-level fool — a naive person whose stupidity has reached legendary proportions. If someone is a 'pavote,' the foolishness is operating on a truly grand scale. Argentina's superlative for the village idiot.
