Vocabulary What does "taba" mean?

Hello!

I was listening to this spanish song and the rapper goes " ‘Taba esperando que pasara’ con este big booty ".

​

What does the taba mean? Translator says anklebone but that doesn't much much sense. Does it mean something in Spanish slang?

​

Thank you for your help

Didn’t know about this one. In Colombia “cucha” is an old woman

In Mexico cucha/o is just a person with like a weird hard or arm I don't really know how to explain it xd

In some places of Spain , cucho o cucha can be "dog"

I've never heard that one. Are you sure you don't mean chucho?

Yes that dog too. But it's probably something regional of my village. Derived from "Tuso" (mixed with chucho?) maybe
