Create account/Sounds like "ah" (as in "art") + "GWAHN" (as in "Guam") + "teh" (as in "ten")/
Unconditional support, endurance, or diehard fan energy in Uruguayan and Argentinian Spanish. "Te banco" and "te hago el aguante" are synonyms for "I support you no matter what." The word has a double life: in soccer it's the fanatic backing of supporters ("aguante Peñarol"), and personally it's loyalty to friends in tough moments. A Rioplatense identity concept.
“Peñarol forever.”
“I've always got your back.”
/Sounds like "ah" (as in "art") + "GWAHN" (as in "Guam") + "teh" (as in "ten")/
A declaration of unconditional, die-hard loyalty and support, especially for a soccer team. Shouting "aguante" is committing to something no matter the outcome: win, lose, or draw. Born in Argentina's soccer culture, it carries a raw, passionate energy that works for anything you love fiercely.
“¡Aguante Boca, hasta la muerte! (Ride or die for Boca, forever!)”
“Aguante el asado de los domingos, eso no se negocia. (Long live Sunday asado, that is non-negotiable.)”

Mango
An extremely attractive person, the kind who makes heads turn. In Argentina and Uruguay, saying someone "está como un mango" means they are irresistibly good-looking, like the fruit at its ripest. Works for any gender and can be a direct compliment or a casual street remark.
