In Buenos Aires lunfardo, a very beautiful and attractive woman. "Papusa" has been in use for over a century, born in the immigrant neighborhoods of the Río de la Plata and woven into classic tango lyrics. It is an admiring term with no aggression: the kind of compliment the city exhales naturally.
“Esa mina es una papusa, no le saco los ojos de encima. (That woman is stunning, I can't take my eyes off her.)”
“Llegó al baile la papusa del barrio y todos giraron. (The neighborhood beauty walked into the dance and every head turned.)”

To pay or fork over the cash for something in Argentina, the most street-level, lunfardo way of saying someone's gotta put up the money. It comes from Buenos Aires slang born in the barrios that spread across all of Argentina.
