A dirty, messy person with bad hygiene habits in Argentina, Chile, and the Southern Cone. Calling someone chancho means their cleanliness level leaves a lot to be desired, whether personally or in their space.
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 steal or swipe someone's stuff in Argentina and Chile. It can range from pocketing a pen at work to something more serious, and the person who does it gets called a chorro with zero affection.
