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

An affectionate way to refer to your dad or partner in Argentina, Mexico, and other Latin countries. Calling someone "mi viejo" sounds like you're saying they're ancient, but it's actually pure love and endearment.
