A friend asked me what it meant, but since it literally means "The mouth of a duck" I figured it's a form of some type of idiom/slang.
Thanks in advanceee! 8D
It could probably be referring to someones big mouth since a duck has a big mouth and thats what it translates into spanish...

Who are you referring too? and if the translation is wrong....and you know it's wrong...then why don't you correct them and post them?
Here is some food for thought:
Try and be a little more productive with your time on ATL, instead of using your strengths to try to bash or downcast someone...why don't you be proactive and try to enlighten!

in a different context the word "chulo" is also a slang for a pimp. oddly enough I use the word "pimp" as a slang when I like something. I use it in the same context as "cool" or "fresh".
for example "that song is pimp"

it's actually not slang for pimp, it's the original word for pimp (that's how it is in the dictionary). the slang is for lookin good. how many other people use chulo like you, because you seem to have you're own version of the spanish language :P
