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

/Sounds like "GRAH" (as in "grant") + "sah" (as in "salsa")/

Meaning

A vulgar, tacky, classless person in Argentina. It's the classist Argentine insult for someone with supposedly bad taste, trashy behavior, and a lack of refinement, at least according to whoever's judging.

Examples

That show is so trashy, I can't even watch it.

Don't be tacky and don't play cumbia at dinner.

Regional synonyms

An Argentine expression for needing to rethink or change plans on the fly because something did not work out as expected. Borrowed from GPS navigation announcing "recalculating," it became a common phrase for any unexpected setback.
