The cargo space at the rear of a car in Spain and Argentina — what Mexico calls 'cajuela.' It's where suitcases, groceries, and random junk accumulate.
A blunt way to tell someone to get lost or disappear. It's the Argentine and Uruguayan equivalent of "scram" or "beat it," but with more attitude and zero filter. Typically used when someone has pushed your patience to the absolute limit.
An informal, quick goodbye from the Italian 'ciao,' used mainly in Argentina, Uruguay, and the Southern Cone. It's breezier than 'adiós' and warmer than a simple wave.
A sweet cake that's the centerpiece of every celebration in Argentina and other Latin American countries. What Mexico calls 'pastel,' Argentina calls 'torta' — same delicious thing, different name.
An Argentine insult for someone who is despicable, annoying, or acting like a total jerk. It also means condom, so context is everything when figuring out if someone is being insulted or if the conversation is about protection. One of those versatile Argentine words you'll hear constantly.
