catire/ catiro= blond
Hola pochita,
En algunos países como Cuba y Venezuela "catire" o "catiro" significa rubio "blond". Catirito está obviamente en diminutivo.
Espero que te ayude.
Buena suerte y saludos del Oso ¶:^)

This term is commonly used in Venezuela and it is a little despective (not rude). Es informal

: Mi marido es Venezolano. Y catire/a se usa como sinónimo de rubio/a. No es despectivo para nada. Es más, al usar el diminutivo es muy probable que se estén refiriendo a un niño.
