Ask An El Paso CHOLO: 5 Random Words That Might Help In Prison

I asked three prison hardened cholos, and GOOD friends, what five random words OR phrases they thought I should know (they did not want their liken-ese's to appear in this article... obviously. Except for this guey.)

Frequent and long-time listeners may have heard that I talk about my stand-up comedian buddy and mentor Iggy Samaniego, a lot. He's an ex-con and cholo, however, he and his friends have always been filled with wisdom and wise words for me.

So, the last time we all got together I decided to ask Sharky, Devil, and Chino what five words, however random, they thought a guy like me, who loves cholos, should know.

WORD ONE: (Huariche)

DEFINITION:
"Prison Slang for Coffee"
USED IN A SENTENCE:
'The hauriche you get when you're locked up is worse than actually being in prison, yo.'

Or

'I'd confess if they made me drink that pinche hauriche one more time, fool.'

WORD TWO: (Beak)

"Mouth" or "oral opening"
USED IN A SENTENCE:
"Hey, f***** next time I pass you my tallboy you better not put your beak on it." (ACTUAL IGGY QUOTE)

WORD THREE: (Que Show)
