/Sounds like "poo" (as in "pool") + "NYEH" + "tah" (as in "tar")/
A high-voltage Puerto Rican exclamation for frustration, anger, surprise, celebration, or any intense emotion. Boricuas shout it when their team loses, when they stub a toe, or when news leaves them speechless. It is a mild curse so integrated into daily speech that many use it without thinking.
“Damn it, I forgot my umbrella and it's pouring!”
“Hell yeah, we won the championship!”
