/Sounds like "chee" (as in "cheek") + "kee" (as in "keep") + "LEEN" (as in "lead")/
A small child or very young person with little experience, said affectionately or slightly condescendingly depending on tone. In Uruguay and Argentina, 'chiquilín' has the warmth of watching a kid grow up: endearing when said to a child, pointed when said to someone who should know better.
“Look at the little one running!”
“That kid thinks he already knows everything.”

Goma
An eraser for removing pencil marks in Argentina, Chile, and Spain. Careful: in Costa Rica 'goma' means a hangover, and in other contexts it can mean something completely different.
