Some words can be different, even embarrassingly so, in different Hispanophone countries. Most Spanish speakers can recognize other Spanish forms, even in places where they are not commonly used, but Spaniards generally do not recognise specifically American usages. For example, Spanish "mantequilla", "aguacate" and "albaricoque" (respectively, "butter", "avocado", "apricot") correspond to "manteca", "palta", and "damasco", respectively, in Peru, Argentina, Chile, Paraguay and Uruguay. The everyday Spanish words "coger" (to catch, get, or pick up), "pisar" (to step on) and "concha" (seashell) are considered extremely rude in parts of Latin America, where the meaning of "coger" and "pisar" is also "to have sex" and "concha" means "vulva". The Puerto Rican word for "bobby pin" ("pinche") is an obscenity in Mexico, and in Nicaragua simply means "stingy". Other examples include "taco", which means "swearword" (among other meanings) in Spain but is known to the rest of the world as a Mexican dish. "Pija" in many countries of Latin America and Spain itself is an obscene slang word for "penis", while in Spain the word also signifies "posh girl" or "snobby". "Coche", which means "car" in Spain, for the vast majority of Spanish-speakers actually means "baby-stroller", in Guatemala it means "pig", while "carro" means "car" in some Latin American countries and "cart" in others, as well as in Spain. Papaya is the slang term in Cuba for "vagina" therefore in Cuba when referring to the actual fruit Cubans call it "fruta bomba" instead. Also, just how Americans use the term "dude" to refer to a friend or someone, Spanish also has its own slang, or "modismo", but varies in every country. For example, "dude" is "güey, mano, cuate or carnal" in Mexico, "mae" in Costa Rica, "tío" in Spain, "tipo" in Colombia, "hueón" in Chile and "chabón" in Argentina.
