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

/Sounds like "tree" (as in "tree") + "POHN" (as in "port")/

Meaning

A person with a prominent belly. In Mexico, Guatemala, and Honduras the term is descriptive and casual, not necessarily negative, though it can be used in a teasing tone depending on context.

Examples

Your uncle has gotten quite a belly since he got married. He eats really well.

The big guy on the team is the one who scores the most goals in the games.

Regional synonyms

Drunk, under the influence of alcohol. A softer way to say it than "borracho," but the effect is the same: someone who has had too much and it shows. Common in Peru, Colombia, and Chile.
