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

/Sounds like "fee" (as in "feet") + "SOO" (as in "soup") + "rah" (as in "rapper")/

Meaning

A chaotic, unhinged person who lives on the edge with no sense of order or limit. In Argentina, a fisura is someone who will do anything, push every boundary, and whose lifestyle is permanently out of control, often with substance use involved.

Examples

No lo invites, es un fisura y va a arruinar la reunión.

Don't invite him, he's a mess and will ruin the gathering.

He lives like a total wreck, no schedule, nothing.

Regional synonyms
Bandera de México
Desmadrista

A fake person who pretends to be something they are not, especially in social situations. In Argentina and Uruguay, you call someone "careta" when they act all proper and respectable in public but are completely different behind closed doors, or when they fake a lifestyle they cannot actually afford.
