Usage Note
Tripa is the informal word for the intestine or gut, and colloquially for a protruding belly (le está saliendo tripa — he's getting a paunch). In the plural, tripas means 'guts' or 'innards' both literally (offal) and figuratively. The culinary term callos is preferred for tripe in cooking contexts.
Examples
"Le dolía la tripa después de comer."
