/Sounds like "loon" (as in "loop") + "FAHR" (as in "far") + "doh" (as in "door")/
The street slang of Buenos Aires, born in the immigrant neighborhoods of the late 19th century from a mix of Spanish, Italian, Quechua, and other languages brought by waves of migrants. Lunfardo traveled from the margins to the cultural mainstream through tango and remains alive in everyday River Plate speech today.
“Esa palabra viene del lunfardo, no la vas a encontrar en el diccionario estándar.”
“That word comes from lunfardo, you will not find it in a standard dictionary.”
“El tango está lleno de lunfardo.”
“Tango is packed with lunfardo expressions.”
