Like most spanish words, it has a very different meanings depending on which country you're speaking.
According to RAE, it can also be a grinding instrument, it's a moking word in Cuba, in Mexico is shredded beef (dry shredded beef in my region) or a particular annoying person being bad timing and stubborn.
