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

/Sounds like "pahn" (as in "park") + "tah" (as in "tar") + "LOHN" (as in "loan") + "DEH" (as in "debt") + "mehz" (as in "met") + "KLEE" (as in "cling") + "yah" (as in "yard")/

Meaning

Jeans made of denim, the most universal item in any Mexican closet. In Mexico nobody says "jeans" or "vaqueros", pantalón de mezclilla is the correct way and no wardrobe is complete without at least one pair.

Examples

Put on some pantalón de mezclilla and a t-shirt.

My favorite pantalones de mezclilla already have holes.
