I've known some Argentinians, but only spent time living in Spain and Mexico. The uses of "Bueno" all sound very familiar from Spain. I would say that the "está buena" use is a rather special use -- I usually translate that as "she's hot." The use of "Está bueno" for food (normally) and for people (slangy usage) was very common in Spain in my experience. Other things here, though, like "Dale", "Viste" and "Tipo" (meaning 2) are totally new to me and great to learn about! Interesting set of words.

We often use more than one in the same sentence. (I'm from Buenos Aires) Bue/buen: "Bue boludo, vamos? es tarde." Cómo se llama: "No porque, cómo se llama?... tenía que..." Eeh: "Eeh, buen mejor vamos para allá..." Este: "Esteeee.... la verdad ni idea" Nada: "Y nada, eso, ya fue..." Qué te iba a decir? - "No, este... Qué te iba a decir? no sé bien cómo hacer..." Tipo, tipo que: "Y tipo que, íbamos para mi casa y..." "Y tipo, me dijo que fuera..." More muletillas. We often use more than one in the same sentence. (I’m from Buenos Aires)

As for Quilombo, that's already in my Argentine slang section: http://exposebuenosaires.com/argentine-slang/. Good to hear you've been testing out the Argentine slang with your argy friends. It's pretty hard to use Muletilla in a sentence, I really only put the description on my site because the Argentines use many different muletillas (Ex. Viste, o sea, etc) Hey Adam,

The only one I haven't used it muletilla. I'd like to add "dale" (roughly 'okay') and "quilombo" (mess).

In Brazil they use 'tipo' in the same way (as 'like'/'kind of'). And 'ya fue' would be 'já era'. Interesting list here! In Brazil they use ‘tipo’ in the same way (as ‘like’/'kind of’).
