Top Definition

Def. 01 of 7

No doubt about it. It's brilliant. But this week, the Christmas challenge. And play it over the Christmas period. Why not enjoy it with your friends?

Pressing the old Argentinian button is when you say something that changes a person from mild-mannered and jovial to a full-on South American psychopath.
