Bandera de Argentina

/ma-LON/

A spontaneous, unplanned gathering at someone's house with a large crowd that nobody warned the host about. In Argentina, a 'malón' is both exciting and slightly anarchic — it just happens, people show up, and suddenly there's a party that goes until morning.

Example

"A spontaneous party broke out at Martín's place — we stayed until four."

"Should we throw a spontaneous party tonight? Tell everyone."
