agree  moken: Fink (disambiguation) It may also be used as old-fashioned slang for a "rat", or someone who betrays his compatriots; and by extension, any untrustworthy or dishonest person.

Todos los términos son sinónimos de soplón, pero son del lunfardo utilizado en Argentina y Uruguay, no puedo asegurar que se entiendan en otros lugares.

En este sentido, "carnero" sería el término para alguien que rompe una huelga.

Saludos!

Asker: Do "chota" and "soglapote" mean "informante"? And is a "rompe-huelga" the one who does not strike while all his colleagues do? Thanks a lot Lydia
