Don Juan was great at smooth-talking women. I wish I had known him.

Y aquí, ches queridos, tenemos la definición "del engrupido", gracias a un argentino que nos lleva al significado por el lindo camino de su prosa corta. jejeje.

expresiones españolas link

This is a great link explaining Spanish expressions. I'm loving it.

traer/llevar

traer - to bring something from point A to point B. To use traer, the speaker needs to be at point B
llevar - to bring something from point A to point B. To use llevar, the speaker can't be at point B.

The most obvious examples for me:
you're at a party and you call someone to bring ice:

¿Podis traer hielo? Se nos acabó.
Can you bring ice? It ran out.

you're on your way to a party and you call to see what to bring:

¿Qué llevo? Coca-cola? hielo? What should I bring? Coke? Ice?

also I hear people use "lo ando trayendo" and sometimes "lo ando llevando".

María: ¿Tenis el examen del año pasado?
el Tata: si, lo ando trayendo.

María: Do you have the exam?
el Tata: Yes, I have it with me.

Regular Spanish?

dar un examen/tomar un examen

This is opposite in English.

dar un examen - to take a test
tomar un examen - to give a test

El profesor tomó un examen y los alumnos lo dieron.

The profesor gave an exam and the students took it.

Di un examen hoy y me fue como la corneta. ("como la corneta" is vulgar)

I took a test today and it went poorly.

These expressions are also used in Argentina, but not in Mexico or Spain as far as I know.

copete

copete - booze

Anda a comprar un poco de copete mientras espero los invitados.

Go buy some booze while I wait for the guests.

Chilenismo

carterear

carterear - to rob someone's purse. It comes from "cartera", Chilean for purse.

Me carterearon cerca de la U en Valpo. Rápidamente, se me cortaron el tirante de cuero con un cuchillo; se llevaron la cartera y ya estaban corriendo en la otra dirección cuando me di la vuelta.

They robbed my purse close to my University in Valpo. In a split second, they cut the leather strap with a knife, grabbed the purse and were already running the other direction when I turned around.

chilensis, I believe

not to be confused with "carretear" which means "to party"

and "cartera" (purse) is pretty close to "carretera", but the second one means highway
