Usage Note
Salido is the past participle of salir used as an adjective with two distinct senses: 'protruding' or 'sticking out' (ojos salidos = bulging eyes) and, colloquially and informally, referring to an animal in heat or, in vulgar register, a sexually aroused person. Context makes the meaning clear; learners should be aware of the colloquial sense to avoid unintended offence.
