BOKA in Chamorro means "food" or "to eat." It seems pretty obvious that we got it from the Spanish word BOCA, which means "mouth." Boca Raton, Florida is a town named for a rat's mouth.
But if you go to Spain or Mexico and tell someone "boka, boka," instead of eating, they will think you're talking about someone's mouth.
