Join Hablaaa and add the expression no one else has documented.

/Sounds like "FYAHM" + "breh" (as in "bread")/

Meaning

A corpse, a dead body. In Argentina, 'fiambre' is the darkly humorous lunfardo term for a dead person, borrowed from the word for cold cuts. The humor is very Argentine: blunt, morbid, and delivered with complete deadpan. Not used in polite company.

Examples

The news said they found a body in the river.

Keep that up and they'll find you cold.
