Bondi is only used in Buenos Aires, in Santa Fe and other provinces "colectivo" is used. Also, just in case, Boludo is used very informally and I suggest you use it only with close friends.

No you are to young for this, bonding is a new word not from lunfardo, I know the bus started in Argentina, we did not have the bus when lunfardo was started, for the bus is Cole, short for coletivo, boludo, is not budy, is a negative remark like punk or dumd shit, to me was and always will be negative, do not confuse it with ( pelotudo), that is fighting words. Quilombo I do not know if it comes from Brasil in my time it was a cat house or a cluster f***, , ( se armour un quilombo ) cluster f***. Vos comes from ( vosotros ) old Castilian, the correct way to say ( you ) formal. Vos is short very familiar person or friend. Chamuyero is a BSer, if you are going to give the heads up to a female, you say chamuyero for negative or ( tiene muela ) he has mauler, he is older not his 1st BBQ. mala leche is not to be unlucky, ( you have bad or negative attitude) ( che sos mala leche.) (En el horno ) is to be in hot water. A kid please do not take this wrong, but you need to be careful people can be ( en el horno ) if you translate wrong. I can see it person wants to make a joke, an he comes out like an ass. Adults do not tell each other ( che boludo ) high school kids do, with friends not someone you don't know, you may be in a fight. We have people of all level of education. I recommend that you be yourself, test the waters be cool, and is never cool to cal a female boluda. And ( mina ) is not cool, mina is a mine that you dig or excavate, you are basically describing her as a ho, or some one you do not want to name. ( Sali con una mina ) I runned into a bra or when out with a bra.or picked up a bra. ( Mina is not cool ), hope you do not take this wrong, Chau che.😁⚽️😁⚽️😁⚽️😁
