Yesterday, I woke for an early class after a late night out with Mono, Seba, and Leah (at the movies, of course). The usually frenetic streets are desolate at the 7:00 hour, so I was not prepared with the indifferent "I know exactly where I'm going and I'm in a huge rush so don't even think about messing with me" expression that any pedestrian commuter wears while bustling about. I was caught off-guard by a delivery man maneuvering an unwieldy cart of soda pop with one hand, the other occupied with passionately waving and blowing me kisses as he cheerily shouted "Buen dia, linda!". I couldn't stop myself from laughing.
This is a city where a gal will hear, on average, 3 come-ons a day. Lobbed from the lips of some of the most shameless chamuyeros of the capital, it is a rare moment when a piropo stands out from the usual lot which range from dull to disgusting. Those with some originality deserve to be noted. Thus I present to you the very short list of...
Piropos that Have Made Me Laugh
1. Ojos, me matas! - Look out, you kill me!
2. Adios, bomboncita! - Good bye, little chocolate treat!
3. Que pinturita! - What a little painting!

How about "Let me see that thongggggg...thong thong thong thong thong", the shoes I am referring to, of course!

Thank you for the tasteful suggestion. But no, my dear friend, sadly that doesn't quite make the cut.
cheers!

mhmmm those are kinda.. level 2.
one may go further and say:
"Estamos de fiesta?..digo, por los globos"
"Que avanzada esta la tecnologia, hasta los bombones caminan"
i let u think about that and there are a lot of them!
they can be very silly

Reconciliemonos con la razon, y arrastremos nuestras mentes recurrentes hacia los retos mas rotundos.
re bien Seba!
pero nadie los usa no? como pueden decir algo tan largo asi en la calle? Tal vez, vos los usas en los boliches, no? Aha- ahora puedo ver como sos.
Espero oir algun dia un piropo tan ingenioso como esos.
