Slang in Argentina See also Mexican Slang, Spanish Slang, Spanish Insults Argentina has a unique vocabulary of slang expressions that you won't hear in any other country, except perhaps in neighboring Uruguay. Below is a list of some of the most common slang expressions that I have heard used by locals in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Popular Slang Expressions in Argentina atorrante - a scumbag, a useless person, a bum. My favorite usage of this word is in the song Otra Noche en La Viruta by Otros Aires. baboso/a - lusty, horny. For example, a man who leers lustily at a sexy woman is "baboso". bárbaro - great, awesome, fantastic Example: ¡Que bárbaro! That's awesome! boludo - stupid, idiot. also used somewhat affectionately among friends and buddies chau - bye che - hey, yo. dude, man. often used to get someone's attention cola - rear end, butt. similar to "culo" but less vulgar grande - old Example: Es muy grande. He's really old. guita - money mina - girl, woman, babe. informal but not usually derogatory palo verde - one million American dollars un sarmiento - a 50 peso bill. The bill features an illustration of Domingo Faustino Sarmiento.
