Bandera de Venezuela

/CHEES-pah/

Tipsy, buzzed — someone who's had enough drinks that it's showing in their step and their smile. In Chile chispa is the pleasant early stage of being drunk, before it gets messy.

Example

"She was already tipsy after the second glass of wine."

"He was a little buzzed but still coherent."
