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.
costilla
[koh-stee-ya], noun
This term is used in many countries, like Peru, to mean “girlfriend.” Literally “rib,” this name likely comes from the biblical story of Adam and Eve, which holds that Eve was formed from Adam’s rib.
