"Teyandee" (てやんでえ) is Yattaro`s favorite phrase.
"Teyandee" is a word that doesn't translate well into English. It's a retort used primarily by the old Tokyo city district residence and represents the Edo spirit
as espoused by the city folk in the area. It most likely evolved from the sentence "nani itte yandee?" ("What are you saying?" with disdain). See the eighth issue of the "Pizza Cats Review" newsletter for more details.
