Lads in Madrid
Chicos is the Spanish word for boys or kids, used in English in regions with significant Spanish-speaking populations.
It functions much like guys as an informal address for a group: Hey chicos, let's get going.
The word also appears in food contexts, referring to dried corn kernels used in Southwestern and Mexican cooking, smaller and chewier than fresh corn.
