In Argentina and Uruguay, a ñoqui (English: gnocchi) is a person who is legally registered as a worker, usually for the government, and receives a monthly wage, but who performs little or no work.[1] Such individuals are called ñoquis because many Argentines and Uruguayans traditionally eat ñoquis on the 29th day of every month, around the time when people receive their monthly paychecks.[2]
