My favourite is "Reino Hundido". UK in Spanish is "Reino Unido", the word "Hundido" meaning "sunken". Some more translations in the comments

Some translations:

-Argentinos escuchando esto: música para mis oídos

+Argentinians listening to this: music to my ears [idiom used to refer to good news]

-Estaba triste por los piratas pero recordé que son ingleses y se me pasó

+I was feeling sad for the pirates [slang that I think Argentinians use against English], then I remembered they're English and it's gone

-Ahora lo llamaremos Reino Hundido

+Now we'll call it Reino Hundido [Sunken Kingdom instead of United Kingdom, Reino Unido. Never gonna call it by other name again]

-Cuando te dedicas a vivir de tu verdadero trabajo y no de la piratería se ve la realidad

+When you live off your real job and not piracy [as in British Empire being a ransacking nation], you start to see the reality
