In Argentina, there’s a common phrase you’ll hear if you asked someone to do something and they forget.

Most probably they’ll say:

• Uy, perdón, colgué. Ya lo hago.
• Uy, perdón, me colgué. Ya lo hago.

Colgar and sometimes its pronominal sibling, colgarse informally mean to forget to do something you were supposed to do.

-¿Y, amigo? Nunca me llamaste
–Colgué, disculpá.

Also, with those friends you know are prone to being a casualty to lapses, you’d usually advise them:

-Hablamos mañana, ¿sí?
-De una, hablamos mañana.
-No te cuelgues, eh. Llamame.
-No, tranqui. Mañana te llamo sin falta.

This is the negative imperative, which, as you may know is unaffected by voseo. If you want to know more about VOSEO, there’s a dedicated article.
