Definitions tagged tinelli in the street dictionary.

oso

An exclamation used when you successfully fake someone out or trick them into a false move. It is most commonly used when pulling your hand away just as someone reaches for a handshake. (The term was popularized in the 1990s by a recurring sketch on the TV show Videomatch where a comedian would bait strangers into a handshake only to retract his hand at the last second.)

- Which way was I supposed to turn? To the right? - No, to the left! - Ha! Oso! You fell for the fake!

Tinellización

Refers to the massive influence of Argentine TV host Marcelo Tinelli and his programs on public opinion. It describes the process of turning politics into a media spectacle or variety show, prioritizing entertainment over serious debate (Marcelo Tinelli is a powerful media mogul whose shows have historically used humor and satire to shape political perceptions).

Tinellización had a lot to do with the downfall of former president Fernando De la Rúa.
