/bi-RO-me/
A ballpoint pen — what the rest of the world calls a pen or bolígrafo. In Argentina, no one says 'bolígrafo' — that would sound absurdly formal. You ask for a birome, always, everywhere, from school age until you stop writing things down by hand.
"Do you have a birome? I need to write down the number."
"I lost my birome and couldn't sign."

Pintoso
Persona bien vestida, elegante, que se arregla con estilo y se nota que le importa su apariencia. En México y Colombia 'pintoso' es un cumplido de presentación.
