As a counterpoint: “son, if you go to the jawn tomorrow morning, don’t forget to pick up some jawn”

In fact, we also have another word that serves both as a multipurpose substantive and an multipurpose adjective:

"¿Yo dónde dejé esa chimba?"

"Está muy chimba su carro"

"Esa chimba estaba muy chimba"


We use 'vaina' for the same jawn in Bogotá.

Vaya mañana a la vaina esa y me trae la vaina.

Sabe qué, dejémonos de vainas.
