A red, sweet, aromatic fruit that in Mexico also describes a snobby, preppy person from the upper class. The strawberry is delicious; the person it describes, not always so much.
A creamy, nutritious green fruit that's the base of guacamole and a staple of Mexican cuisine. Avocado toast made it trendy worldwide, but Latin Americans have been eating it with everything for centuries.
Cheap, tacky, or low class. In Mexico and Colombia, calling someone or something corriente is saying it lacks quality, taste, or refinement. It can refer to a person with no manners, a poorly made product, or anything that just screams "bargain bin." It's a solid insult when aimed at a person.
A corn cob with its kernels still attached — the whole ear of corn in its natural form. It's what you boil, grill, or strip for kernels across all of Latin America.
