A lie, a made-up story, or a fake tale created to deceive or impress. In Central America, 'casaca' is what someone who doesn't deserve your trust says.
A dumb person who says things without thinking, or someone who drools over another person in an obvious, shameless way. They have no brain filter and blurt out whatever comes to mind without measuring consequences.
A kid, boy, or young person in Guatemala — as Guatemalan as frijoles volteados and atol de elote. It's the Guatemalan way of referring to any young person with warmth and familiarity.
