Baúl
/Sounds like "bah" (as in "bar") + "OOL" (as in "Uber")/
The trunk of a car in Argentina, Venezuela, Uruguay, Ecuador, and Colombia. Same compartment you find at the back of any car, just a different name depending on where you grew up. Spain says maletero; the Southern Cone says baúl.
“Put the suitcases in the trunk before we leave.”
“The trunk is completely packed. There is no room for anything else.”

Dólar blue
The US dollar traded on Argentina's parallel or informal market, outside the official exchange rate. "Blue" comes from the color of the bill. The blue rate often differs dramatically from the official rate and is a constant topic of conversation in everyday Argentine life.
