Create account/Sounds like "CHEE" (as in "cheek") + "peel" (as in "pea")/
A clingy, jealous, needy kid who gets extra sensitive, especially when a new sibling arrives. In Mexico, 'chípil' is pure childlike fragility and need for attention.
“He's been super chípil ever since his little brother was born.”
“I'm feeling chípil today, I need a hug.”
