/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!”

Quedaste
Used to tell someone they just got owned, left speechless, or publicly embarrassed. It's the reaction when you can't come up with a response because reality hit you too hard and everyone around you noticed. A savage one-word roast in Mexican Spanish.
