Meaning of tritrí

tritrí
  71

Also written as 'tri-tri' or 'tri tri', this word has a very pop history for Argentines. The greeting "What i did, tritria!" was a hose used by the actor Juan Carlos Altavista with his character Minguito, and became popular even if its meaning was not understood, if it had it. From the last decades of the twentieth century and until now it had many interpretations, since it was an indigenous pampa voice (Araucana? ) for lead metal ("What do you do, heavy!" ) , until it was a bad strip-tease pronunciation (" What do you do!" 128558; ) . To bring a little more confusion to the linguistic community, I add that 'tritri' can also come from the puppet (or vice versa), by the onomatopeya of the dick that some puppeteers used to distort the puppeteer's voice, and that in this case it would not be peyorat but affectionate like "What are you doing, doll!" Of course, it should then be lunfardo of Spanish origin, but there is no written background for its use in the Río de la Plata.
