An ingenious way of solving a problem, usually improvising or using an unusual resource. Mostly applied to a source of income or goods.
This word comes from lunfardo, a
lingo from Buenos Aires and other cities in
Argentina and
Uruguay.
"Mi yeite es vender empanadas en el tren." (My yeite is to sell food in the
train)
"- Todos los días traen facturas a
la oficina del piso de arriba, pero
yo siempre voy y como igual.
- ¡Qué buen yeite!"
(- Croissants are bought everyday for the office upstairs, but I always go and eat anyway.
- That's a great yeite! )
