Add a word/Sounds like "HOH" (as in "hope") + "chees" (as in "cheek")/
Meaning
In Mexico, a softened and playful version of a homophobic slur, used more as a joke among close friends than as a real insult. It still carries the weight of the word it comes from, even when said in a casual or lighthearted tone, so context matters a lot.
Examples
“Come on, stop being shy about it and just tell him you like him already.”
“He got all flustered when he saw the cute waiter.”
