A cheapskate, someone who is tight with money and never wants to spend a dime. In Argentina and Uruguay, the agarrado always has an excuse to avoid paying and conveniently "doesn't notice" when the check arrives. Literally means "grabbed," as in they grab onto their money and never let go.

Someone who chokes under pressure, especially in sports. Literally "cold chest," it describes a player or person who lacks passion and disappears in clutch moments. In Argentine and Uruguayan football culture, calling someone a pecho frío is one of the harshest criticisms, it means they have no heart when it counts. It can also be used outside sports for anyone who does not step up when the stakes are high.
