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

/Sounds like "loh" (as in "loan") + "MEE" (as in "me") + "toh" (as in "toll")/

Meaning

A thin beef loin sandwich with lettuce, tomato, mayo, and sometimes a fried egg, a classic in Argentina and Uruguay. Think of it as the more refined sibling of the choripán: same street-food spirit, but with a slightly more polished vibe.

Examples

A lomito completo with fries, please.

The lomitos at that place are unreal, I swear.

Regional synonyms

Gossip, drama, or a juicy rumor that stirs up conflict between people. In Chile, a cahuín is any story told about someone that creates trouble, whether it is a workplace scandal or neighborhood intrigue. Getting tangled in someone's cahuines is never a good idea.
