Uruguay
All expressions
To go overboard, overdo it, or take advantage of something or someone past the point of what's acceptable. In Argentina, when someone 'se ceba' they went way too far with a joke, action, or situation.
To drive a vehicle and navigate the streets of Latin American cities. In Mexico, manejar in rush hour traffic is a daily test of patience and survival skills.
To hitchhike in Argentina and Chile — standing on the roadside with your thumb up waiting for someone to stop and give you a ride. Hacer dedo is an adventure in itself.
An orphan or a child with no recognized father in Argentina and Uruguay. It can be a heavy insult, a friendly nickname between mates, or just a River Plate way to refer to someone young — all depending on context.
Breaded and fried meat that's basically Argentina's unofficial national dish. With mashed potatoes, fries, or in a sandwich — it's always perfection.
