Bumps or lumps, usually caused by inflammation or a physical hit, that appear on the body, especially the skin (often referring to the goose eggs found on the head after an injury).

A slang term referring to a man's testicles or a woman's breasts, or literally the fruit used for drinking water (coconuts are a common metaphor for round body parts in the Caribbean).
A man's testicles, used figuratively to mean courage, bravery, or guts. (The term derives from tompiates, which are small woven baskets used in Mexico).

A toy consisting of two balls attached by cords or plastic straps to a ring or handle, which makes a clicking noise when shaken. They were popular in the 90s as clackers sold by the store Mundo del Juguete, but now Pepe Lucho and company have brought them back and are trying to sell them as the toy of the century. (Mundo del Juguete was a famous toy store chain).
A slang term for a woman's breasts. It is a play on the Italian word for apples (mele), often spoken with a mock-Italian ending so others do not understand the reference.
