Vocabulario

PANQUEQUE-- Yes, a mispelled version of pancake. But also a way of describing a person who flip-flops.
BOTINERA-- A young, sexy woman, often a model, who has the incredibly privilege of dating a member of Argentina's worshipped football team. Most likely to be spotted sprawled across the pages of a tabloid paper, scantily clad. The word comes from 'botine' which means soccer cleats in Spanish.
CINTA-- Literally a ribbon. But also the word for the long, thin pasta ubiquitous in Argentina's numerous Italian-- and pseudo- Italian-- restaurants.
