La Cana/ la yuta/ los cobani/ los azules: the police

Encanutado: to be taken to prison
Pibe: a boy
Piba: a girl
Purrete: a young kid
Percanta: a prostitute
Mina: decades ago this word was used to refer to a prostitute but now it's refered to girls.
Vago: it means "lazy" but it can also refer to a friend or to a boy "sos un buen vago" "you're a good guy", " sos un vago" "you're lazy".
Trolo, maricon, bufarra, tragasable: it is refered to gays but it is not polite at all.
Manso: it means "what a..." eg. "que manso auto" (what a car!)
Gringo: well, you know
