Your word isn't here yet

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

/Sounds like "poh" (as in "port") + "POH" (as in "port") + "teh" (as in "ten")/

Meaning

A drinking straw, that little tube you stick in your glass to sip. In Mexico it's the default word for straw, and now the eco-friendly cardboard ones are replacing the plastic originals.

Examples

Give me a straw for the horchata.

They don't give out plastic straws anymore, now they're all cardboard.

Regional synonyms
Bandera de Guatemala
Bandera de El Salvador
Sorbete

A sexual encounter or activity that happens early in the morning in Mexico. The most playful and energetic way to start the day that leaves you in a better mood than any coffee or breakfast.
