The meaning of "temazo"?
Could someone please tell me the meaning of "temazo"? Many of my online friends in Argentina use this to comment on a song or video. Is it something like "great song" ("tema" es usado como cancion ahi) ? They will usually say it like "temazoooo" ... with great enthusiasm I can not find it in the dictionary. Maybe something from the dialect there like "re" (also not in the dictionary) which is used like "muy" sometimes? Many thanks!

The -azo ending is often added to nouns to mean something like "really, really big", or "really, really great", like saying golazo instead of gol for a really important score in fútbol. It's sort of like -ísimo. Sort of.
Wiki gave this answer:
mazo is from madrid which literally means big hammer or something I think but when saying it in Madrid it's a slang term for emphasis, temazo means like.. really good/awesome song
Temazo means "that's/it's a freaking awesome song!" It's a feeling that comes from your gut
Temón is slightly less enthusiastic (just in case you hear that, too).
Temazo is used for songs (in Spain). "What an anthem!" in one word.
