Mero
/Sounds like "MEH" (as in "met") + "roh" (as in "row")/
A Mexican word with a thousand uses: 'exactly,' 'the real one,' 'right here,' 'the boss,' or just emphasis. Context is everything, 'el mero mero' means the top dog, 'ya mero' means almost.
“We're almost there, just two more minutes.”
“He's the real boss around here.”

Burra
An old, battered public bus in Mexico, usually the kind that creaks, moves slowly, and serves secondary routes that nothing else reaches. The name comes from "burra" (female donkey) and carries a tone of affectionate resignation: it is not glamorous, but it is the only thing passing through your neighborhood and it gets you there eventually.
