A quick, sharp slap or smack with the hand. In Mexico and Central America a manilazo is sudden and stinging — whether disciplinary, playful or genuinely aggressive.

The youngest child in the family — the spoiled one who gets away with everything the older siblings couldn't. In Mexico and Central America the culiche is pampered by default.

To spoil someone, pamper them with extra attention and special treatment beyond what's normal. In Mexico chiquear is loving someone through indulgence — it's affectionate and a little enabling.

Everything's fine, okay, agreed, or just chill. In Mexico, 'suave' is the most relaxed possible response to almost anything — it means no problem, yes, that works, we're good. Low energy, high agreeability. The verbal equivalent of a calm shrug.
