/Sounds like "moh" (as in "more") + "ROH" (as in "row") + "choh" (as in "chose")/
In Argentina and Uruguay, a person with dark skin or very dark hair. From the Quechua "muruch'u" (black corn), and in the Rio de la Plata it is a neutral physical description with no negative weight, similar to how "moreno" is used elsewhere.
“The dark-haired guy on the corner always says hello when he passes by.”
“My whole family is dark, black hair just runs in the family.”
/Sounds like "moh" (as in "more") + "ROH" (as in "row") + "choh" (as in "chose")/
A twin in Venezuela and Colombia: one of two people born from the same birth. Morochos are a constant source of fascination and confusion, with endless stories of mixed-up identities and the unique bond of two people who arrived in the world together.
“They are twins, people always mix them up.”
“My mom is a twin, she has an identical sister.”

Dólar blue
The US dollar traded on Argentina's parallel or informal market, outside the official exchange rate. "Blue" comes from the color of the bill. The blue rate often differs dramatically from the official rate and is a constant topic of conversation in everyday Argentine life.
