Argentine Spanish is definitely not a euphamistic lanuguage. Whereas in North America one might see the Big and Tall shop, here you find a shop called, essentially, FAT PEOPLE. One time, in a suburb, instead of the usual 'talles especiales' (special sizes), Chris saw 'ropa para gordos' (clothes for fat people). However, one thing you learn when living abroad is not to impose what you grew up with on others - different drums and such.
