chamuyo

Origin: Spanish, from Rioplatense Spanish, derived from lunfardo (Argentinian slang).

Definition: A word in Spanish that describes a type of argumentative persuasion characterized by the absence of strong or true arguments, often compensated by the elegance of language used.

Translations:
- In relationships: comparable to "lying" but without the psychological manipulation associated with gaslighting.
- In a romantic or sexual context: comparable to "rizz" when referring to an individual's approach.
- In a broader sense: comparable to "bullshitting" when the aim is to create an impression rather than to establish truth or to communicate effectively.

Gachi: ..."and the he said he loved me!"
Pachi: "No way! That's pure chamuyo"
