In Mexican Spanish slang, 'camote' is commonly used to refer to a strong infatuation or crush on someone. Originally, 'camote' translates to 'sweet potato' in English, but in slang context it refers to the feeling one gets when they are deeply attracted or in love with someone.
Examples
- Spanish: Estoy hecho un camote por ella, no puedo dejar de pensar en ella.
- English: I'm totally smitten with her, I can't stop thinking about her.
