/Sounds like "hoh" (as in "hope") + "BAH" (as in "bar") + "tah" (as in "tar")/
An older woman, usually your mom or any lady of a certain age. In Argentina and Uruguay "jovata" can sound affectionate among friends but might come across as disrespectful with strangers depending on your tone. The word is the feminine form of "jovato," rioplatense slang for an old person.
“My mom called me five times to make sure I got home okay.”
“The old lady at the corner store always lets me pay later when I'm short on cash.”

Chicano Spanglish for a paycheck or payday. Used in Latino communities in the US. Payday is sacred in the neighborhood: rent, bills, and groceries come first, and there is usually little left over.
