4. Use the word “Che” when beginning or finishing each sentence: “Che, are you coming after all?”, “Don’t get mad, che”, “Che, this is delicious dulce de le che”.

7. You know everything and doubt anybody else could know it better than you.
8. Argue with Brazilians, Chileans, Uruguayans, for soccer. Go on vacation to their beaches and sing to them: “Brazil, tell me what it feels to have your dad at home”.

13. Either you like “chongos” or “minas”, if you go out tonight, wear your best “pilcha”, lots of perfume and go for it!
14. Go walking like you were arriving late everywhere. Drive like you were arriving late. And if you actually are arriving late, say the traffic jam was a “quilombo”.

16. If you want a beer, order a “birra”; if you want a cigarette, ask for a “pucho”; and if you want to leave, “tomate el palo”.
