Means,
extremely good, powerful, large, etc.; very super; marvelous or colossal.
Origin:
1935–40; rhyming compound with invented second element
Anyone have a good translation into Spanish, something with a rhyming compound and same slangy flavor and register?
I thought of "chachi-piruli" but sounds a bit childish in Spain.
The Venezuelan "chévere" or the cocky-Madrid style: "fetén".
The Mexican "padre/padrísimo" or "ch*ngoncísimo" Argentinian "macanudo" or others such as, "de chipén", "chipocludo" and so on an so forth. (I also thought of "morrocotudo" and "de buten"...)
Yet, all of these words in Spanish, while they may convey the same concept, kind of miss the 'urban-techno' flavor that I think the "super-duper" has...
Maybe I am going a bit overboard, but it will be good to know your views of if you have a good word/expression in Spanish that will match perfefectly...
(No sé si estoy hilando muy fino, pero por pedir, que no quede.)
