“Wonder why Miss Kelly didn’t ask Yeb....”


Assuming that you are seeking to mock Jeb Bush in ‘Mexican-speak” , it’s “Heb” , not “Yeb”. In Spanish, the “J” is pronounced like an “H” , not “Y” as if you would be in Swedish, or German.

How about we just start all over and coin “Hevecito” , which would be a phonetically correct pronunciation in Spanish of “Jebecito” ?

No, I know the J is silent in Spanish. This is just another nickname for him. His real name isn’t Jeb anyway - it’s John.

John Ellis Bush, JEB is his initials not his name.

I am curious what Jebecito means.
