/Sounds like "FREH" (as in "fresh") + "sah" (as in "salsa")/

Meaning

A strawberry: the red, sweet, aromatic fruit used in desserts, smoothies, and jams. In Spain and Latin America, fresas are a summer staple. Note: in Mexico the same word doubles as slang for a snobby, preppy upper-class person, but this entry is about the delicious fruit.

Examples

Strawberries with cream are a summer classic that never disappoints.

I bought strawberries at the market and they are incredibly sweet for this time of year.

A dramatic situation that has spiraled into full soap opera territory, with impossible conflicts and unexpected plot twists. Used in Mexico and Central America. When someone says "esto ya se volvió novela," the situation has gone from a normal life problem to something with betrayals, secret revelations, and scenes that belong on primetime TV.
