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.
“The tejocotes in the posada punch are the best.”
“That client is a tejocote, there's no way to convince him.”

Placa
A Chicano slang word for "the cops," coming from the metal badge (placa) officers wear on their chest. "La placa" refers to the police as an institution, and hearing "ahí viene la placa" in a Chicano neighborhood is the universal signal to wrap up whatever you're doing. It is street-level language that carries the full weight of the complicated relationship between the Raza and law enforcement in the United States.
