10 phrases you will not hear (no existe en Argentina):
1. “Hey buddy, you’re driving too fast.” Literally, you would say, I think: 'Estas manejando mas rapido' but it really doesn’t translate. You communicate something more like: 'Dude! You’re winning! Go, you good thing!'
2. “I’m not really into football.”
3. “Oh, I don’t really have an opinion on that.”
4. “Oo, is that the time. I’d better go to bed.” (Although you might hear: “Oo, is that the time, I’d better go to work.”
5. “Please stop looking at me. I am shy.”
6. “My round. Right you losers, let’s get some shots in.”
7. Although equally unlikely: “My round.”
8. “Look, that chubby tango dancer just missed a step.”
9. “Nah, I’m sure the traffic will clear in a minute. I’ll toot my horn then.”
10. “Two salads and an iced water please.”
And 5 you might hear:
1. “Oh, I see you own a camera. Would you like a picture of me?”
2. “I am amazing at things.”
3. “Did I mention I had silicone breasts? Oh good, I thought I’d forgotten. Wanna feel?”
4. “I’m telling you, these lights do not change unless you toot your horn. (Pause. Toots.) There you go. See?”
5. “I would like a kilo of ice cream please. No, no. One fork is fine.”
