21 May 2009, 1:00 PM. By Alex Alvarez
If you’ve ever asked a Mexican whether it’s cold enough for a chaqueta or asked a Cuban to pass a bollo at dinner, you’ll know that Latino slang terms can vary from country to country, region to region, generation to generation, a reality that often results in embarrassing situations. Guanabee Glossary is our attempt to teach you Latino slang and save you from looking like a weird-ass fool in mixed company. Enjoy it, cabrones.
concha
[kon-cha] noun
Concha is the spanish word for a conch - a medium to large saltwater snail that lives in a large shell. “Concha” and “Conchita” is also a popular nickname for the girls’ name Concepción. It is important to note that, in Argentina, “concha” is often used to refer to a certain part of the female anatomy.
Mira esta concha. Es rosadita y huele como el mar.
Look at this conch. It is pink and smells like the sea.

One of the most famous hotels in Puerto Rico years ago was the “Hotel La Concha”. Naturally, all the Porteños had to take photos of themselves in front of the hotel sign. Bellacos!
mi mama me me hace sopa de conchitas. yum!
so its ridiculously fitting that my great-grama is called concha. she had 19 friggin kids. some died, some got lost in the sauce, one set of surviving twins. my family = great.
I also think of the delicious pan dulces that go by the same name.
we (cubans) also say concha instead of saying conio…like freak for f*ck or dang for damn
in Spain it also refers to the vajay
I LOVE THIS BLOG es lo maximo!!! :-)
