/Sounds like "fah-ee-NAH"/
A thin chickpea-flour flatbread typical of the Río de la Plata region, inherited from Genoese cuisine through 19th and 20th century Italian immigration. In Uruguay and Argentina fainá is served alongside pizza, cut in little triangles, practically mandatory in any classic pizzeria in Montevideo or Buenos Aires. Eating pizza without fainá in these places is considered a minor cultural betrayal.
"Pedí dos muzzarellas y fainá. → I ordered two mozzarella pizzas and fainá."
"La fainá de esa pizzería es la mejor. → That pizzeria's fainá is the best."

Cheta
A rich girl or a woman who acts like she's upper class in Argentina, typically associated with designer clothes, expensive tastes, and a snobby attitude. You can spot a cheta from a mile away by how she talks, where she eats, and the places she hangs out. It's the feminine form of "cheto.".
