    Big Kanhunas - American slang: literally big balls, figuratively a man who has big kahunas has a lot of nerve, is brave, a risk taker, has a lot of testosterone.
    Ted Turner: "Hey, listen. You've got to have big kahunas to be in this business.

    One word, many meanings. World isn't definded purely by wikipedia.
    I know that. It just seems to me that many people (no not just one) know the word cojones but only in speech, and confuse it with kahunas especially when they write it.

    I can see we may now get to the question, when does a repeated mistake become no longer a mistake but one of the acceptable options? IMHO it's still a mistake, even if Ted Turner makes it too.

            Isn't using the Urban Dictionary akin to trying to win an argument by saying "Look I'll prove I'm right as it say's so on Wikipedia"

                About time we got the Yanks to correct their spelling mistakes too? Or we adopt their spelling variants.

                  Since Ted Turner never said anything about kahunas, using a made-up quote from urban dictionary to support an Americanisation doesn't really seem like a winner to me.

                    Having a gripe and starting a topic to point out a slang word on an internet forum so everyone can have a cheap shot isn't that clever either really.
