/Sounds like 'teh-hoh-KOH-teh'/

In Mexico, tejocote refers to a small, hard, and sour winter fruit typically found during the Christmas season. However, colloquially, someone who is tejocote is stubborn, difficult to convince, and refuses to give in to anything.

Example

"The tejocotes in the posada punch are the best."

"That client is a tejocote, there's no way to convince him."
