Ruco
/Sounds like "ROO" (as in "rude") + "koh" (as in "coat")/
In Mexico, a woman's word for her boyfriend or steady partner. It has nothing to do with age and everything to do with casual, street-flavored affection. Completely ordinary in everyday Mexican speech.
“Ahí viene mi ruco a recogerme. (There comes my boyfriend to pick me up.)”
“Mi ruco me llevó a cenar por nuestro aniversario. (My boyfriend took me out to dinner for our anniversary.)”
Ruco
/Sounds like "ROO" (as in "rude") + "koh" (as in "coat")/
In Mexico, this word has two meanings depending entirely on who says it and the context. It can mean an old man, or it can mean boyfriend or partner. When a young woman says "mi ruco," she is talking about her boyfriend or husband in an affectionate, casual way. When a kid says it about a stranger, they are calling him old. The tone and context make all the difference between a term of endearment and a mild insult.
“Here comes your man to pick you up.”
“My guy took me out to dinner for our anniversary.”
