No, not piña with the meaning of pineapple. Piña in Argentinian Spanish means punch, so it’s a rather boxing-related metaphor. Picture a face getting a straight punch (is it an uppercut? I lack boxing terminology, sorry.

Do you know what we mean when we say it?

It means it’s a great idea, a perfect plan or a good option.

  • El flan de este restaurant va como piña.
  • Un mate a la mañana va como piña.
  • Unas vacaciones a mitad de año van como piña.

Hope you start using this phrase soon!
