Really, no matter how you cut it, learning a language returns you to the frustrating impotencies of childhood: Why...can't...I...say...that...without...thinking? Thus, doesn't it make sense to teach anyone learning a language, even adults, with kindergarten tools like colorful posters? (A lottery seller's booth in the Tribunales subte station has a children's poster of 100 different animals--with their spanish names--that I especially covet.) And now that I'm thinking about that, shouldn't those sort of primary-color explanatory tools also be available for slang. Hell, that would help in English--a big cartoonish diagram of a 'peckerwood,' for example, or 'metrosexual'.

This is all a long, tortured way to get around to the fact that I just came across this awesome schematic cartoon of one of my favorite bits of Argentine slang--cheto (flash, chi-chi, swanky, etc.). And man do I love it.
