Flashero

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.
