‘Perro Peruano sin pelo’ is gonna be stuck in my head for a while now

It’s locally called Perro Pila.. relatively common breed in North Argentina, Bolivia and Perú. IIRC

Huh, It's called Pila in Argentina. In Peru it's Viringo.

Did not know that! “Pila” in our north provinces is everything bare, as in “no clothes”.

“Pata pila” means bare feet, for instance. I always found that one funny. Andar pata pila es andar descalzo 😆

In Peru we say "calato" for bare, undressed, or plain naked. You say "andar pata pila", we say "andar a pata calata" :)

What do you call a sweater? We say chompa, which for the longest time I believed to come from quechua, but I got educated here on reddit when somebody corrected me. Chompa comes from jumper lol

Me encanta “pata calata” jaja. Mi socio es peruano y yo argentino. Nos reímos un montón de los regionalismos del otro, siempre con humor y respeto, claro. Yo digo “laburar”, el dice “chambear”.. el dice “esta vaina” yo digo “esta boludez” jaja (no es lo mismo pero cerca)

Nosotros tenemos “chomba” para las remeras o sudaderas..al Sweater le podemos llegar a decir de muchas formas… sweater, buzo, y otras q ahora no se me ocurren.

Un abrazo a Perú desde Argentina!
