/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.”

Red flag
A warning sign in a person or relationship that signals something is seriously wrong. The English term "red flag" crossed into Spanish social media vocabulary completely intact and now dominates conversations about dating and relationships across Latin America and Spain. If you are collecting red flags on someone, the situation is probably not improving.
