In Spanish slang, 'azulejo' is commonly used in some regions to refer to a one thousand peso bill because of its blue color. The word 'azulejo' literally translates to 'blue tile' or 'ceramic tile'.
Examples
- Spanish: No puedo pagar la renta este mes, me faltan dos azulejos.
- English: I can't pay the rent this month, I'm short two thousand pesos.
