shusheta in Argentina: of the lunfardo, dress elegantly, but also has the meaning of falluto or snitch. From 1943 within a campaign initiated by the military dictatorship that forced to suppress the lunfardo language in broadcasting, such as any reference to drunkenness or expressions that were considered immoral or negative for the language or for the country, this word was forbidden. For this reason the tango Shusheta had to be renamed The Aristocrat.
