Yerr
Significado: A greeting or exclamation used to get someone's attention, equivalent to 'hey' or 'yo.'
Yerr (sometimes spelled 'yerrr' with extra r's for emphasis) is a distinctly NYC greeting that carries warmth and familiarity. It's typically drawn out when spoken — 'yeeerrr!' The longer you hold it, the more excited or enthusiastic you are to see someone. It's both a greeting and a way to hype someone up.
