/Sounds like 'PEH-yeh'/
A jinx — a person or thing that brings bad luck just by being present. In Chile and the Southern Cone, a peye is someone whose very appearance seems to curse plans and cause things to go wrong at the worst moments.
"No lo lleves, es un peye y nos va a arruinar el viaje."
"Desde que llegó ese peye nada nos ha salido bien. → Don't bring him, he's a jinx and he'll ruin our trip."
"Since that bad luck charm showed up, nothing has gone right for us."
