BARBARO-- In its primary meaning, something barbarian. Which is why I spent a good few days confused as to why people were refering to certain football games as "barbarian," or describing a club as being fully "barbarian." Turns out it's a truly barbarian way of saying cool.
LABORO-- From the Italian, which signifies work. Though "trabajo" is also used, the strong Italian impact on the country has also seeped into language.
MATA HAMBRE-- Hunger-killer. It is, of course, a large hunk of meat.
PORTENO-- (adjective): Of or from the city of Buenos Aires. PULSE-- (noun): Underlying sentiment or opinion. A student's attempt to chronicle the pulse of Buenos Aires, Argentina during her three-month stay in the capital.
