Bandera de Argentina

/Sounds like 'fee-goo-REH-tee'/

Someone who does everything just to be seen — showing off, performing, making an entrance purely for the attention. In Argentina, the figureti is that person whose entire personality runs on external validation: they don't just want to be at the party, they need everyone to know they're there.

Example

"No lo invites, es un figureti que arruina todo con su show. → "Don't invite him — he's a total attention-seeker who turns everything into a scene."

"Siempre llega tarde para que todos la vean entrar, es una figureti. → "She always shows up late so everyone watches her walk in — total show-off."
