Chuco slang, carnal

From Billy Calzada, San Antonio, Texas:

John,

You were always quick on the Chuco slang: Simon, carnal, ya te fuiste, vaz cruzing en tu gran mueble to the sky...Don't forget tu tapadera. I live in and love San Antonio, but man, I miss El Paso. While we worked together at the Express-News, your presence went a long way toward quenching my longing for El Paso.

That gift you gave was priceless.
