Let’s say you did very good at an exam/job interview/football match with friends. You feel flooded with Argentinian emotions but, hold on, what should I say?

The expression in these cases is “LA ROMPÍ”. I broke it instead of I crushed it, but very similar in its metaphorial value.

In football it’s commonly heard when referring to a player who did a very good game. For the last 15 years it’s been associated with Messi.

• ¿Viste el partido? ¡Messi la rompió, boludo!

But you can use it in any of the previous examples and you’ll sound great.

One use I like is when someone did a great job. To compliment him/her you’d say:

¡La rompiste, amigo/a!

Hope you get to use it soon,

Thanks for your visit,
