Bandera de México

/Sounds like "ma" (as in "mama") + "lee" + "ya" (as in "yacht")/

Withdrawal symptoms or that intense craving for something in Mexico, whether it's a substance or just a powerful urge you can't shake. Being 'malilla' means your body won't leave you alone until you get what it's asking for. It can range from actual withdrawal to just really wanting a kiss or a cigarette.

Example

"Ando malilla por besarte. -> I'm craving to kiss you so bad."

"Despertó bien malilla después de la fiesta de anoche. -> He woke up with a nasty hangover after last night's party."
