All expressions
When something is at full blast, no half measures. Used across South America for work, music at max volume, or when someone is completely absorbed in something. It borrows the English word "full" and adds a Spanish twist, making it feel more intense than just saying "busy."
A thick blanket for protection against the cold in Argentina, Chile, and Peru. The southern blanket that wraps you up when the temperature drops suddenly and you don't want to leave bed for anything in the world.
An Argentine expression of disbelief or to point out that someone did something incredibly stupid and absurd. It's the natural, visceral, automatic reaction to an obvious blunder you can't believe you just witnessed.
To read a message and intentionally not reply, to leave someone on read on purpose and calculated. It's the modern form of ghosting that causes more anger than a direct response.
To protest or complain excessively about something, to scandalize or loudly demand something. In the Southern Cone, someone who puts up a big fuss does not accept what happened and makes it known.
