/Sounds like "ehs" (as in "egg") + "TOO" (as in "tool") + "fah" (as in "far")/
A gas stove or cooktop where food is prepared over an open flame in Mexico. It's the heart of every Mexican kitchen, nothing beats the taste of food cooked on a real flame.
“Put the pot on the stove to heat up the soup.”
“My mom's stove has been running for 20 years and still works perfectly.”

Pelana
A basic, classless, or broke person with no style in Yucatan slang. Calling someone "pelana" in Merida means they have no taste or status. Among young people it can be teasing between friends, but directed at a stranger it lands as an insult.
