cajones
Spanish for boxes
Cajones is Spanish for boxes or drawers, but in English it almost always appears as a misspelling of cojones—the Spanish word for testicles used to mean courage or guts: That took cajones.
The confusion is common enough that many English speakers don't realize they've mixed up the words.
