"Argentina!"


Drew Argentina in office sweepstake.

"To Argentina" [verb, specific to Birmingham in the late 1970s]

To throw confetti, litter or other paper pieces, out of upper deck window of buses when travelling through enemy territory* shouting "Argentina" at passers-by.

* = rival council estates
