> The name comes from anacronopete ("who flies through time"), which is a time machine featured in the novel from Enrique Gaspar y Rimbaud, and published in 1887 (eight years before than H.G. Wells'Time Machine).
From the website.
Spanish is one of these languages where absolutely every single word in the language is a profanity in some dialect, variant, or region.
I'm a Spanish speaker and that does not make much sense to me, but it might mean something in the latin american variants, I guess.
Urbandictionary says it's Argentinian slang.
"Pete" seems to work as slang, and it kinda makes sense to me reading the UD explanation, I was just confused by the Chrono part in the original comment.
