Your word isn't here yet

Join Hablaaa and add the expression no one else has documented.

/Sounds like "AH" (as in "art") + "WEH" (as in "west") + "boh" (as in "boat")/

Meaning

Hell yes, absolutely, you better believe it. One of Mexico's most emphatic affirmations. A huevo leaves zero doubt: it's a yes with full conviction and no hesitation. It is rough around the edges by design. You do not say a huevo politely or half-heartedly.

Examples

Are you coming to the party? Hell yes, I'll be there early!

You bet I'll do it, don't back out on me now that I already committed.

Regional synonyms

The police or a cop, said in a derogatory way or as a code word among friends to warn that the law is coming. In Mexico, saying 'ahí viene la tira' is the alarm signal for everyone to straighten up or run.
