This is a dictionary of Spanish slang as found in Argentina, especially in the Rioplatense dialect, i.e. the dialect spoken around the basin of the Río de la Plata (where Buenos Aires is) and upstream on the basin of the Paraná River (around Rosario and up to the cities of Santa Fe and Paraná).

I started compiling words and expressions from my native Rioplatense dialect of Spanish years ago, and posted them in my website… the many incarnations thereof. This is the last attempt. As always, it’s work in progress.

I’m not a professional dictionary maker, linguist, lexicographer, or anything of the sort. If you spot mistakes, kindly report them to me. Likewise for suggestions, requests, or doubts.

If you find this site useful or funny or both, please Stumble it, Technorati fave it, etc.
The previous version of this dictionary is located at argentineslang.blogspot.com. It’s no longer being maintained and only exists because I don’t want to lose web traffic from people who haven’t updated the link. Don’t go there; it will only redirect you here after 5 seconds.
