Piyayo

A term from Malaga, Spain, originally used to describe someone who is drunk or wasted, derived from a phonetic variation of the word pillado. It is most famously the nickname of Rafael Flores Nieto, a legendary Gypsy flamenco singer and street character immortalized in Spanish poetry (Piyayo is a symbol of Malaga folk history and flamenco culture).

The nickname became universal, much like how Alonso Quijano is better known as Don Quixote: the same thing happened to Rafael Flores Nieto. If we say Don Juan, we all know who that is and what it means. If we say Piyayo, it is much the same.
