/Sounds like "heh" (as in "help") + "TOHN" (as in "toll")/
Someone who falls asleep anywhere, anytime, no warning needed. In Mexico, a jetón is that person who passes out mid-party, on the bus, or in a chair the moment their eyes get heavy. Equal parts endearing and annoying depending on the situation.
“El jetón de Carlos se quedó dormido a media fiesta y ni lo vimos irnos.”
“Carlos the sleepyhead passed out mid-party and didn't even notice we left.”
“Me quedé jetón en el camión y me pasé tres paradas.”
“I knocked out on the bus and missed my stop by three.”
/Sounds like "heh" (as in "help") + "TOHN" (as in "toll")/
A shameless, thick-skinned person who does bold or rude things without caring what others think. Comes from "jeta" (face), implying someone with a lot of nerve. Used in Mexico to call out someone acting brazenly.
“What a shameless guy, he just cut in line without batting an eye.”
“Do not be so shameless and just apologize already.”
/Sounds like "heh" (as in "help") + "TOHN" (as in "toll")/
In Guatemala and Mexico, a loudmouth or gossip who talks too much without any filter. Don't share secrets with a jetón because they will tell everyone, and probably exaggerate the story to make themselves look interesting. The word comes from "jeta" (mouth/face).
“Don't tell Luis anything, he's a total blabbermouth.”
“That guy is such a loudmouth, he just makes stuff up.”
