Spanish: El Pilón

Type: Slang

Meaning: In Ecuador they call it la yapa, that extra measure a vendor gives you for buying in quantity. In Mexico it’s el pilón. The closest thing in English is ‘a baker’s dozen.’

Deme 4 kilos de naranjas. ¡No se le olvide el pilón! (Give me 4 kilos of oranges, and don’t forget my extra bit!)
