Bandera de México

/Sounds like "HEH" (as in "help" without "lp") + "fah" (as in "far")/

An affectionate way to refer to your mom in Mexico — the supreme authority of the household. The Mexican jefa is untouchable: she cooks better than anyone, is always right, and nobody in the family dares to contradict her.

Example

"La jefa already made food, hurry up before it gets cold."

"My jefa scolded me for coming home late again."
