words that Arlt would like if he were me

motile

energumen

Austereicle

Is that anything like Osterreicher?

it can't be found in my computer, which made loud grinding noises when I typed it in.

I take it to be an economic term. In times of austerity, one who eats icicles, or 'hands them out'

I now reach for my sudarium...to rinnit across my face

scorbutic

sorbutwut

musteline

pendejero

(edited to correct spelling)

pendejo?

toko di merda, too, as his mother was Triestine.

Of course, it depends on the neighborhood. But with all those Italians in Buenos Aires, there are many possibilities:

pezzo di merda, common Italian
pezzo de mmerda, Romano
pezzu i meddu, eastern Sicilian
pizz d merd, Barese
pezzo e mmerda, Napolitano
pesso de merda, Chioggia

Toko di merda also covers Venezian and Bisiaconi

cafishio

mezzano

Austereicle is when someone is so austere they actually go off the chart(which is cylindrical in mechanism), blow past the stop which is at both the beginning and end of said mechanism and end up hysterical to the point of humorous to the extreme. (Only to the outside observer of course) as the subject usually simply drives him or herself mad with seriousness.
