/Sounds like "ah" (as in "art") + "FAH" (as in "far") + "noh" (as in "note")/
A rip-off or a situation where you feel cheated or massively overcharged. In Argentina, afano (from the verb afanar, to steal) is the word for when a price or deal is so unfair it feels like someone reached into your pocket.
“That price is a total rip-off, it is not worth half of that.”
“Four hundred pesos for that sandwich is a straight-up afano.”
/Sounds like "ah" (as in "art") + "FAH" (as in "far") + "noh" (as in "note")/
A street theft or quick heist pulled off with speed and skill. Argentine lunfardo slang, possibly from the Italian "fare fano." Used for a clean, fast steal: a pickpocket job on the subway, a smash-and-grab at a shop, or any quick theft where the victim barely notices.
“They caught him hours after the jewelry store job.”
“Someone pickpocketed him on the subway and he didn't even notice.”

Manjar
Dulce de leche in Chile, the exact same thing but with a different name. Manjar goes on everything from bread to cakes, and every Chilean household has a jar in the kitchen.
