/Pronunciation pending — Guaraní word/
A Guaraní word literally meaning "hairy foot," used in Paraguay for a snitch, informant, or gossip. The term comes from the Stroessner dictatorship era, when regime informants moved silently to avoid detection. Today it describes the office tattletale, the nosy neighbor who knows everyone's business, or anyone who reports to authority. The word carries heavy political history in Paraguay.
“Don't tell that snitch anything, he'll report it straight to the boss.”
“There's always an informant in every office.”
