Remember using good punctuation and capitalization. alt text

On the other hand, chayote is the fruit in the picture, It seems that it has no translation to English but I saw some references calling it squash.

Now, the important thing, there's a popular phrase in Mexico which is parir chayotes which means, according to the dictionary and with which I agree:

"parir ~s (Méx fam) to have a terrible time of it".

And in a common context it would be used something like this:

Jorge está pariendo chayotes, no tiene dinero para la renta y tiene que pagar la colegiatura de la escuela.

Jorge is "having a bad time", he has no money to pay the rent and he has to pay the school inscription.

Also, people use to say siente que está pariendo chayotes, which has the same meaning.

This was a slang class, now, in your case, it is more specific, and maybe not very funny, so I won't say it literally but the person who is sayin the phrase is probably seeing a toilet whose lever was not pulled.

Chayotas (chayotes) are a prickly fruit / vegetable (you need to cook it in order to eat it). So I'm sure "giving birth" to chayotes is definitely not a pleasant prospect. They're nothing like squash, by the way. - Gekkosan, Mar 31, 2011
