"Piola" in Argentina

Having found the word "piola" as titolo on page http://www.et.bgu.edu/~berglunm (Home page of Michael Berglund (genio, piola, macanudo)), I wrote to the author in order to know the meaning of that word; here is his answer:

Roberto,

     I was a missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day 
Saints in Argentina for two years.  It was in Argentina that I found 
out that the word, "piola," is lunfardo (Argentine slang).  In 
American slang it  means cool, awsome, totally rad.  

     In other words, "piola" is used in Argentina as an adjective
to describe something that is pleasing, fun, or looked upon in a very 
positive light.  So, your name means Roberto who is totally awsome.  

    Hope that helps!!!

ciao,

Michael Berglund
