This was several years ago when I was still learning Spanish to talk to my partner's family. I didn't notice, and apparently he didn't either. There are different slang words in different parts of Mexico. I guess I should've figured that, but how could I ever have guessed that I was telling our friend that we were having dick for dinner?

I don't think that's down to south american slang, I assume you were having chicken and said "polla" rather than "pollo", easily done, I've asked for a dick burrito in a mexican restaurant by accident before luckily the waiter found it hilarious.

Haha no actually, we were eating Tinga. And when we told our friend that he said that's dick.

oh that must be colloquial to the region you were in, I thought the word Tinga originated in Mexico due to the dish being created there, I've heard it used in Spain to describe something vulgar but never heard it as slang for dick.
