In most Spanish-speaking countries, 'poncho' is not a slang term. It is a traditional garment used to keep warm, typically a large piece of cloth with a hole in the middle for the head. However, in Argentina, 'poncho' is also used as a slang term referring to a brave or tough person.
Examples
- Spanish: Juan es un poncho, siempre está listo para defender a sus amigos.
- English: Juan is a tough guy, he is always ready to defend his friends.
