/Sounds like "ah" (as in "art") + "tah" (as in "tar") + "TYE" (as in "tie")/
An exclamation of total disgust and revulsion in Ecuador and Peru. When something grosses you out so badly you need to express it with sound, "atatay!" comes out before you can even think about it.
“Yuck, what is that awful smell!”
“Gross, what on earth are they eating over there?”

Yiro
In classic Argentine lunfardo, a woman who works as a street prostitute. The word is closely tied to tango culture and the popular poetry of the Rio de la Plata in the 20th century, where the yira became an enduring literary figure: solitary, walking the night, waiting for someone to stop.
