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

/Sounds like "HOH" (as in "hope") + "choh" (as in "chose")/

Meaning

The Bolivian word for hot dog, a phonetic and affectionate adaptation of the English "hot dog" reduced to "jocho." In Cochabamba, jochos are practically a street-food religion: served from night stalls with fries, melted cheese, onion, and yellow sauce, ideally after 10 pm.

Examples

Let's go eat hot dogs on Heroínas street, those are the best in Cocha.

One hot dog with everything, please, but no onion, it doesn't sit well with me.
