Join Hablaaa and add the expression no one else has documented.

/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.
