/Sounds like "DYAHN" + "treh" (as in "tread")/
A euphemism for "diablo" (devil), used as an exclamation of surprise or frustration without using the stronger word. In Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic it is a mild, everyday interjection for moments that call for a reaction but not a full curse.
“Dang, I left my keys in the car.”
“What the heck is that guy doing at my front door?”

Joderse
To mess yourself up physically, or for something to break down beyond repair. In Spain, "joderse" is the blunt, everyday way of saying you threw out your back, wrecked your knee, or your appliance finally gave up the ghost. It carries a resigned "well, that's that" energy.
