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

An offensive insult for a very fat person or someone who eats excessively, comparing them to the animal. It's derogatory, rude, and shouldn't be used, but unfortunately it exists and is heard in popular speech.
