/Sounds like "chee" (as in "cheek") + "YOHN" (as in "yoke")/

Meaning

A crybaby or whiner who complains about absolutely everything and turns every minor inconvenience into a full drama. In Mexico, Guatemala, and El Salvador, calling someone chillón means they have zero tolerance for anything difficult.

Examples

Stop being such a crybaby, that was nothing.

Your cousin cried through the entire movie, not just the sad parts.
