Yeta
/Sounds like "YEH" (as in "yes") + "tah" (as in "tar")/
Bad luck or negative energy that seems to attract misfortune wherever you go. In Argentina, having yeta means being a magnet for bad things, and superstitious people stay away from you so the bad streak doesn't rub off.
“That team has yeta, they always lose in the final.”
“Don't even mention him, he's pure yeta.”

Papelón
A public embarrassment big enough for everyone to witness and remember. Making a papelón means you messed up in front of an audience: forgot your speech, fell down the stairs at work, or said something completely wrong in a meeting. The shame has witnesses.
