tuerto
Spanish
Usage notes
In Spanish, if someone experiences bad luck, it can be said that a "tuerto" (one-eyed person) has seen them. So common expressions such as "te ha mirado un tuerto" or "me mirĂ³ un tuerto" meaning literally "a one-eyed person has seen you" or "a one-eyed person saw me" could be translated as "what rotten luck" or "I/He/She was jinxed".
