Your word isn't here yet

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

/Sounds like "teh" (as in "ten") + "NEHR" (as in "net") + "WEH" (as in "west") + "bohs" (as in "boat")/

Meaning

To have guts, courage, and the determination to face something difficult without chickening out. When someone has 'huevos,' they dare to do what others won't, they go all in when it matters.

Examples

You've gotta have serious guts to say that to the boss.

He had the balls to quit his job and start his own business.

Regional synonyms

Completely unhinged, totally out of their mind. In Mexico, calling someone lurias means they have gone fully off the rails, not just a little quirky but genuinely lost touch with reality. No diplomacy involved.
