Jote
/Sounds like "HOH" (as in "hope") + "teh" (as in "ten")/
A person who persistently pursues someone romantically without being welcome and refuses to read the signs. In Chile, the word comes from the jote, an Andean scavenging bird known for circling and hovering. The jote hovers. He circles. He does not take a hint.
“That jote has been following her around all night.”
“Stop being a jote and accept that she's not interested.”
