/Sounds like "MAHN" (as in "mark") + "tah" (as in "tar")/
A large, cozy blanket for covering yourself on the couch or in bed. The perfect companion for cold afternoons: you throw it on while watching a show and you are not getting up until someone forces you to.
“Bring the blanket. We are watching a movie and it is getting chilly.”
“The couch blanket is so soft I always fall asleep in it.”
/Sounds like "MAHN" (as in "mark") + "tah" (as in "tar")/
A clumsy, lazy person who can't do anything right and everything they try goes wrong. In Spain, calling someone a 'manta' is the soft insult for someone useless or lazy who can't get it together.
“You're such a manta at football, you can't even hit the ball.”
“Don't be a manta and help me move this.”

Aguas vato
A rhyming Chicano warning that pairs the classic "aguas" (watch out) with "vato" (buddy). It gets thrown out when the risk is incoming and there's no time to explain. A well-timed "aguas vato" has saved fights on more than one barrio street. The rhyme gives it rhythm but the message is serious: turn, react, stay alert now. Not advice, an order.
