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.”

Zarpe
Something that went way over the top, excessive or outrageous. In Argentina and Uruguay it describes situations, prices, or attitudes that are just too much, whether in a good way (an insane goal) or a bad way (absurd rent prices). Think of it as the Argentine way of saying "that is insane."
