/Sounds like "ahn" (as in "art") + "DAHR" (as in "dart") + "seh" (as in "set") + "KOHN" (as in "coat") + "chee" (as in "cheek") + "KEE" (as in "keep") + "tahs" (as in "tar")/
To beat around the bush, use empty excuses, or act timid when the situation calls for directness. In Mexico and Spain, andarse con chiquitas is what people do when they cannot bring themselves to say something straight. Strong criticism of wishy-washy behavior.
“No te andes con chiquitas y dile la verdad.”
“Stop beating around the bush and tell him the truth.”
“No hay tiempo para chiquitas, hay que actuar ya.”
“There is no time for hesitation, we need to act now.”

Hacer piojito
To gently run your fingers through someone's hair in a slow, rhythmic way, like a light scalp massage. In Mexico there is no better sedative: the toughest person falls asleep within minutes. A small gesture of deep comfort and affection.
