His Spanish and English are both impeccable, so I take great joy in any of his minor slip ups. It just makes him more human. When he first moved to Argentina, he worked in a call center in customer service. During one of the training sessions, Jorge asked what he should do if a client was upset about something specific.

The Harshest Argentina Spanish Street Slang Insult: AALRPMQTRP

AALRPMQTRP Try saying that three times fast. I bet you didn’t learn the pronunciation rules for that many consonants in a row! Okay, okay, I’ll come clean.

20 Argentina Slang Words in Spanish for MONEY

Money is an important topic in Argentina, more so than other countries. With its yo-yo economy, high inflation, corrupt system and long-term monetary and debt problems, it is a daily topic of conversation for everyone. As someone employed for a short time by the much-hated (in Argentina) International Monetary Fund (IMF) I love hopping into a taxi and entering into economic and monetary policy discussions with the driver.
