día del santo: It looks like a query for a reverse dictionary from someone looking up the word onomastic, but it actually came here because they put it as if it could be a synonym, and on top of that for a burrada like 10060;honomastico. See santoral .
amigo del alma: It is not a locution and is perfectly understood with friend, of the (contraction), soul ("anima"). And on top of that the phrase is put as if it could be a synonym in the debatable friend of the heart (which for me is not a locution either) and mentioned in 'inseparables' (which is in the plural, that's why I don't link it either) and in 'friends of the soul' (which obviously should not be even as a dictionary entry). It also wanted to be synonymous in chochi, but it was cut word by word (which would not be bad, if it were in the definition, but it ended like this because the site sometimes cuts the synonyms also by the spaces).
amurado: 1º_ Participle of the verb amurar, which depending on the context can have different meanings and etymologies. 2º_ As an adjective it has several meanings, it can be "fixed to a wall, wall, and by extension to the floor or ceiling", or also the lunfardo "hanging (from the wall)" with all its meanings ("abandoned, imprisoned, indebted, . . . " ) .
tanga: In lunfardo he is the partner of the rapturous thief or punguista who distracts the victim. At first he was the casino employee who pretended to win to encourage other bettors. See gurupí, I hope, tongo, entongar.
patrigarca: It is a lunfardo neologism that associates the word "patriarch" with "garca". It appeared as irony before the machirulo speech of a partisan political leader who believed he defined himself as "patriarch", and who for his opponents was a "garca".
franela: 1º_ Polishing cloth. Fabric conque is made the rag, which also serves to make clothes. 2º_ T-shirt, t-shirt, t-shirt, casual clothes without buttons to cover the torso. 3º_ In lunfardo 'to make flannel' is to go to the brothels only to talk with the girls. It is a version of the French fair flanelle ("to make flannel" ), with the same usage. 4º_ Also in lunfardo it is a physical and sexual contact, but when it is known that there will be no consummation, only kisses, caresses, groping. It comes from the previous meaning, and by extension is also used for a show of physical affection, although it has no erotic intention. See flannel (lunfa) .

desquiciar: It would literally be "removing or releasing a quicio to disengage mechanical parts" (such as door hinges), but it is used only figuratively, as "removing or making someone lose their emotional structure by releasing the cracks that keep them stable".
cartón lleno: It is an expression used in the game of lottery of cards or bingo, just when it is won by completing all the numbers on the cardboard. It has a figurative sense or two just like "singing bingo", but it is used less as "getting something by luck" and much more for "situation that exceeds the tolerable"; perhaps as a euphemism for "full balls". See embolar .
cantar bingo: 1º_ This expression has a literal meaning in the game of bingo or lottery of cards, since it is sung or shouted Bingo! when all the numbers on the own cardboard are filled. 2º_ It has a figurative sense to express that a victory related to luck was obtained, when something is found despite the low probabilities of finding it. 3º_ Another interpretation closer to irony is to express weariness or saturation for something, as if the situation, patience, were already full, comparing them with the full cardboard. See embolar .
salir del cascarón: This locution refers to the real situation of an animal (especially a bird) that breaks the eggshell where it was born, and compares it with someone who leaves his comfort zone, the environment or situation in which he is locked up, to face something broader, a new life.
