Spanish term or phrase: tarilo
In the northern zone of Spain, a word with negative implications, I can't find it in the DRAE. No more context available, for now, sorry.

Explanation:
My father tells me he has some fond memories of his mum going "menudo tarilo que es tu padre a veces", which I guess doesn't reflect very well on my grandpa... It seems that now my niece, who's about four, has taken to saying the word and nobody can understand what she says!
The owrd is definitely out of fashion and it is a regionalismo. Hope it helps!
