El que te jedi

In Argentina, our way of saying you know who is el que te jedi, or la que te jedi.

It’s actually an inversion of “el que te dije” or “la que te dije”.

You’d use it any time you don’t want to say the name of someone while making it obvious who you’re referring to.

For example, if you want to refer to your boss while talking to a co-worker:

-Preparate hoy, porque el que te jedi está cruzado…
-En serio, ¿qué pasó?
-No sé, pero desde que llegó está criticando todo.

It’s big fun for me because it makes me think of Star Wars jedis.
