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
