Actually, it means "small penis". This is a true story: My dad used to be a sales manager for the Fuller Brush Company; his territory covered South and West Texas. I once asked him what he did on business trips, so he told me this story about a trip to Laredo (on the Mexican border). "I went down to see Eduardo Mercado, an' he's really tearin' things up down 'ere, y'know, so I didn't need t'train 'im, or motivate 'im, I just rolled inta town an', y'know, asked 'im what he wanted to do. He said, "Le's git a beer," so we went t'some hole in th'wall and started knockin' back the cervezas, y'know. Now, it's important t' remember that down 'ere, they call their, y'know, their, uh ..." "Their *dicks*, Dad?" "Yeah, well, that's their *chile*, y'know, like the chile pepper. They're hot, shaped just so, and not everybody likes t' eat 'em, y'know. So, there we are, drinkin' talkin' a little bidness, and pretty soon I gotta *go*, y'know. So I says, 'Hey, Eduardo, where's the pisser?' an' he jus' jerks his thumb t'ward the back of the place. I stumbled back there, seein' a hallway, thinkin' there's prob'ly a john to the left or the right, but s'just a back door! So, I went t' look outside, and there's a couple fellers standin' around, seperate, y'know, takin' a leak. 'Oh, ho,' I think t'myself, and go on out t'ere, and git m'back t'the' wind, y'know, and, awww, yeah, sweet relief. So as this relaxin' feelin' sets in, I just started makin' conversation with this guy about ten feet away, I says, 'Hey, pretty chilly.' It was about February, y'know. And he looks up, all startled-like, zippin' up 'is pants so quick I think he caught it in th' zipper, an' jus' says, 'Uhhhh, Thank you!' and runs off." He never did tell me if the guy really had a pretty one, or if he was just flattering the guy, the way that salesmen do.
