Comment on Happy DB Cooper Day to those who celebrate!

When using aphorisms, please try and Google them.
A pet peeve of mine is gratuitous and incorrect use of my native languages.

Cajones has been a slang term for “balls” or “bravery” or “having the guts” for over a hundred years. So not only are you being a pedantic prick, you are also a wrong pedantic prick. If you are going to be a pedantic prick, you should be the one to google if you are even right first. I grew up in a Spanish/ English speaking community, this is the word we used (although we used huevos too, but that literally meant like, your balls; less “having the balls”, or having courage to stand up to someone). It should occur to you that you don’t have a monopoly over the use of language, so maybe check that.

Would you kindly read the article you linked? It literally says the entry is for COJONES, not CAJONES.

My misspelling it doesn’t change its meaning, which is obvious in its context.
Again, pedantry.
