Your word isn't here yet

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

/Sounds like "see" (as in "see") + "MOHN" (as in "more") + "KEH" (as in "kept") + "YEHS" (as in "yes")/

Meaning

A rhyming Chicano affirmation that doubles down on "yes." It blends "simón" (Spanish slang for yes) with "yes" in English for maximum emphasis. High energy, unmistakably Chicano, and a staple of barrio slang in the US.

Examples

We going for some beers? Heck yes, bro.

Oh definitely, of course I'll come with you.
