Eses
/Sounds like "EH" (as in "egg") + "sehs" (as in "set")/
Meaning
Plural of "ese," the Chicano way of referring to your people or the guys from the neighborhood. Los eses carries collective identity, brotherhood, and belonging. It is basically the Spanish-slang equivalent of "the homies" but rooted in caló, the Chicano street dialect.
Examples
“The homies from the neighborhood are throwing a cookout Saturday at the park.”
“The crew came through to visit, hadn't seen them in months.”
