This is probably your Mexican friend trying to translate "Travesia" to
English and just coming up with a random word that doesn't
mean anything. He is trying though... be nice.
Mexican friend: "This assignment is going to be such a Travesy"
You: "What? Travesy? I've never heard that"
*Conversation ensues where Mexican person is embarrassed cause the word
never existed but he'
s been using it for all
23 years of his life*
