In some Latin American countries, 'jopo' is a colloquial term referring to a hairstyle where the hair is pulled back in a bump or hump. It can also be used pejoratively to call someone stubborn or headstrong.

Examples

  • Spanish: 1. Ella siempre lleva su cabello en un jopo. 2. No seas tan jopo, escucha lo que te estoy diciendo.
  • English: 1. She always wears her hair in a bump. 2. Don't be so stubborn, listen to what I'm telling you.
