/Sounds like "trohm" (as in "troll") + "PAH" (as in "park") + "dah" (as in "dart")/
A hard, heavy punch in Argentina and Uruguay that sends you straight to the floor without ceremony. A trompada is the kind of fist blow that makes you reconsider every recent life decision the moment it connects.
“He landed a punch and knocked him out cold.”
“They started trading punches outside the bar and the police showed up.”

Yiro
In classic Argentine lunfardo, a woman who works as a street prostitute. The word is closely tied to tango culture and the popular poetry of the Rio de la Plata in the 20th century, where the yira became an enduring literary figure: solitary, walking the night, waiting for someone to stop.
