/Sounds like "ah" (as in "art") + "toh" (as in "toll") + "RRAHN" + "teh" (as in "ten")/
A lazy, shameless person with zero desire to work who lives off everyone else's effort. In Argentina the atorrante is the one who does absolutely nothing and doesn't even care.
“That atorrante spends the whole day lying on the couch doing nothing.”
“Stop being an atorrante and go find a job.”
/Sounds like "ah" (as in "art") + "toh" (as in "toll") + "RRAHN" + "teh" (as in "ten")/
A lazy bum, a freeloader who avoids work and lives off others or circumstance. In Argentina and Uruguay, an "atorrante" has no shame about doing nothing productive. The word originally referred to homeless people who slept inside drain pipes in Buenos Aires.
“That lazy bum has been out of work for months with no sign of wanting to change.”
“Don't be a freeloader, find a way to actually contribute something to the project.”

Vecindad
A cluster of small homes arranged around a shared central courtyard in Mexico, where multiple families live together and everyone knows each other's business. Think El Chavo del 8: neighbors who borrow everything, argue loudly, and somehow always look out for each other. A piece of traditional Mexican urban life that still exists in many city centers.
