Spanish term or phrase: Es un nota
Hello,
Anybody familiar with the slang term nota, used to denote a boy, lad.

I'm wondering if it would be used in the same way as we use dude or does it have connotations that would be more along the lines of a tough guy, big shot.

I don't have any context, sorry.
Thanks
