/Sounds like "WEH" (as in "west") + "boh" (as in "boat")/

Meaning

Testicle. This word spawns dozens of expressions: 'tener huevos' (to be brave), 'huevón' (lazy or dumb), 'a huevo' (hell yeah/mandatory). It's the foundation of vulgar Spanish vocabulary.

Examples

Man up and talk to her already.

He got hit in the huevos with a ball and dropped to the floor.

/Sounds like "WEH" (as in "west") + "boh" (as in "boat")/

Meaning

Something super cheap, a total bargain you found by pure luck. In Mexico, getting something 'a huevo' means it was practically free, so cheap it almost seems unreal.

Examples

That shirt was a huevo, only cost 50 pesos.

Everything at the tianguis is a huevo, you gotta get there early.

A Chicano slang term referring to a Black person, historically carrying negative racial weight. It comes from the Náhuatl "mayatl," which names a shiny dark beetle, and in Mexican Spanish it was first used for the insect and later extended into racial usage. In modern Chicano culture the word is loaded, conflictive, and increasingly rejected for its offensive tone, though it still gets used in some barrio contexts.
