Guaymama

A brown rubber sandal or slide worn for lounging at home. The name is a humorous reference to the sound Guay, mama! (Ouch, mom!) that children shout when their parents use the sandal to discipline them. (Boca Chica is a famous local beach).

Juanita, bring me the guaymama, I am taking off my shoes. Put on your guaymama, we are going to Boca Chica. She gave him such a beating with the guaymama that the mark of the sole was left on him.
