/Sounds like "kah" (as in "car") + "TEE" (as in "tea") + "reh" (as in "red")/
A blonde or light-skinned person with fair hair or features that aren't the typical dark Latino look in Venezuela. It's purely descriptive and not offensive at all, just a natural everyday word.
“My girlfriend is catire, she's got natural blonde hair.”
“That catire guy is new at the office.”
“Everyone in my family is dark-skinned except me, I came out catire.”
/Sounds like "kah" (as in "car") + "TEE" (as in "tea") + "reh" (as in "red")/
A blond or light-haired person in Venezuela, the equivalent of Colombia's mono. Catire is descriptive and casual, used as a nickname or just a quick identifier. Fair coloring stands out in Venezuela, so the catire gets noticed and named accordingly.
“That blond guy is Luisa's brother.”
“I like the fair-haired guy from English class.”

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.
