Did you know?
- The term coco was once associated with a 'bogeyman' figure. This connection stemmed from the spooky, face-like appearance of the three dark spots found on the end of a coconut shell.
- Though it sounds like a general term of endearment, using coco can sometimes feel slightly old-fashioned or specific to certain regional dialects in France.
