What does "callecha" or "cayecha" mean? Sorry if it's rude.

Veronica · 10-09-2006, 01:19 PM

No idea!

What is it, Mexican?

Joz� Santos · 10-11-2006, 09:24 AM

I think the word you are looking for is �Caliche�
Caliche is just another euphemism for �Calo�
Calo is the colloquial language in the central part of Mexico, mainly in D.F.
It is ghetto talk. The word in neither nasty nor vulgar, but it is used mainly by that kind of people. It always has a double meaning:

�Vas a Quer�taro? Which reads are you going to Queretaro? But says do you want some?
I hope that was what you are looking for.
Context can help.

Mm... to tell you the truth folks, I'm completely clueless about this thread!

Chibola can be a small onion or a swelling on or in the head, like a hangover.

asado is a roast, but if the meat roasted is a fem. the noun then becomes asada; as in carne asada.

and Callecha is similar to a word that I came across in a Carlos Fuentes novel, I couldn't find it in a dictionary, but by the context I interpreted it as a young female living in the alleys of poorer mexico city.
