To use drugs habitually or heavily. Comes from 'falopa' (drug) and is used in Buenos Aires street culture to describe problematic consumption. If someone is 'falopeando,' it's become a serious problem.
A person who doesn't give personal space, always being on top of you or impossible to get rid of.
Someone who makes things up and exaggerates to impress — a bullshitter with a flair for storytelling. In Argentina and Uruguay, a versero tells tales, invents exploits, and stretches the truth with such charm that you almost believe them.
A chronic slacker who coasts on others' effort and is always the last to do any actual work. In Argentina, vagoneta describes someone who discovered the path of least resistance and made it their permanent lifestyle.
An obsessed person who can't let something go, or someone who overcomplicates everything unnecessarily. The 'enroscado' goes in circles without resolving anything. Can also mean someone who's just difficult to deal with.
