Yuta
/Sounds like "YOO" (as in "you") + "tah" (as in "tar")/
The police, in Argentine and Uruguayan lunfardo slang. Still the most common street warning that cops are nearby. When someone shouts "viene la yuta," you know what to do.
“Watch out, the cops are coming! Put everything away fast.”
“The police stopped us on the corner and asked for ID for no reason.”

Jermu
Woman or girl. "Jermu" is Venezuelan slang created by reversing the syllables of "mujer" (mu-jer becomes jer-mu), a technique similar to Argentine lunfardo. This kind of syllable-flipping slang is especially common among young people in Venezuelan neighborhoods.
