I read a story today about three lions escaping from a Guatemalan circus and eating a "yegua." I didn't know what a yegua was in Spanish so I looked it up. Below is the defintion from wordreference.com. Apparently a yegua is one of three things: a mare, a whore, or a bonehead. I like to think that the lions escaped and ate a whore, though maybe they ate the bonehead that left their cage open. (bonehead featured above)
