A friend of mine once ordered "huevos duros" in a restaurant in Mexico thinking that she was ordering hard-cooked eggs. She got a quick lesson in idiomatic Spanish, needless to say.

frangarnes commented on the word huevo
huevo (Spanish) = egg (English). But sometimes we use the word huevo (usually in plural: 'los huevos') with the same meaning that 'the balls' in English. When your friend ordered 'huevos duros' she was ordering hard-boiled eggs. Be careful: I've heard that 'the balls of horse' ('huevos de caballo') are eaten in some places!

uselessness commented on the word huevo
Here in New Mexico (that is, provided I'm really located there) we have a popular dish called huevos rancheros. If the slang connotation is so strong in Spanish, I wonder if that name is intended as innuendo. Seems innocent enough in the literal sense. There's got to be a way to order eggs without implying something else, right?
