What does Chela really mean?

Hey there! So, "chela" is actually a word used in Mexican Spanish to refer to a beer. Yeah, that's right, a good old cold one! So when someone says "Voy por unas chelas," they mean they're going to buy some beers. It's like a casual way of saying it, you know?

But "chela" can also have another meaning in biology. In that context, it refers to certain parts of the body of some animals, like the fangs of a spider or the pincers of a scorpion. It's like their little grabbing tools!

So, next time you hear someone talking about going out for chelas, or someone mentions a spider's chelas, now you'll know what they're talking about. It's just a fun and easy way to refer to beers or animal body parts. Cool, right? Hope that makes sense!
