Fil
/Sounds like "FEEL" (as in "feet")/
Chicano Spanglish for the agricultural field or farm labor site, from English "field." Going to el fil means a hard day bent over in the rows, a word deeply tied to the migrant farmworker experience.
“We left for el fil at five in the morning.”
“The whole family worked el fil when I was a kid.”
