Honyak

Low-class person who values neither social graces nor kindness.

From the Ukrainian word гоняк, Slovak "honjak", and Bavarian German "Honjak", all of which originally meant "bloodthirsty pursuer" as a deprecative of the word for "Hun". The word is a relic of the Hunnish invasions of Central Europe.
Max, don't hang around those honyaks. All they'll do for you is get you in trouble.

habanero

An unbelievably hot pepper, reputed to have originated in Havana (La Habana), Cuba.

Often mispronounced by English speakers, the word should NEVER have a "y" sound: it's "hah bah NEH ro", NOT "hah bah NYEH ro". (The "h" is not pronounced in Spanish, but that's probably too much to ask of any gabacho.)
Bob's waiter did not understand why the habanero salsa looked like it hadn't been touched. Bob understood all too well.

The habanero pepper is deceptively un-hot looking: like a brilliant miniature smooth pumpkin.

1) The stack was cut crooked, but our print pimp showed his customer that it was more noticeable that way. They ordered more just like it!

2) Our print pimp knew how to print those four color file folders.

3) You don't know how to get it printed? You need a print pimp.

grubbo

A somewhat slighting reference to a person who has done something unpleasing. Meaning can range from "imp" almost to "jerk". Almost always humorous in one respect or another.
That grubbo took the seat I was saving for you.

He's not a grubbo, he's a true jerk!

You're such a grubbo, honey, when you take the last piece of cake just to do it.

fajita

Pronounced "fah HEE tah", it literally means "little bundle" in Spanish.

In southern Arizona, the word meant only "skirt steak" (near the rump on cattle) until around 1980.

The invasive use of the word (to mean "taquito") by mass marketing of pseudo-Mex cuisine by Taco Bell and California-Mex and Tex-Mex chain restaurants such as Chipotle has pretty much obscured the original local meaning except when making purchases at the butcher.
We bought two pounds of fajita at the butcher and chopped it up to make carne machaca.
