Spanish for 'cat'. At least in
Argentina (can't speak for any other country) it is used:
1. For a female, meaning 'slut' or 'whore'.
2. Less commonly, males of a
lower income (the "villeros") use it to call one another.
Mirá, mirá como
saca culo! ¡Que
gato! ("Look at her wriggling her butt! What a cat!")
"
Que onda, gato?" ("What's up cat?")
