To the Hispanic guys out there: what does the term "Essay" mean?

Question

Seriously - also, why do they says "Holmes"?

both are probably NOT OK for non-Hispanics to use, right?

Answer 1

It's Ese and it means boss, homeboy, dog, dude, man ...it's a slang term.

Holmes is an affection term meaning friend

Answer 2

I'm not a guy, but I am hispanic.
Ese, pronounced like "essay" if you have an american accent is parallel to saying "dude"

Like, "hey dude, how is it going?"
It's like," hey ese, what's going on?"
It's kind of a street word or slang.

It's a little hard to translate, but that's a common way to use it. You can use the word to refer back to someone.
