/Sounds like "MEE" (as in "me") + "koh" (as in "coat")/

Meaning

A mischievous, hyperactive kid in Mexico and Central America, the type who climbs everything, breaks stuff by accident, and never sits still for two seconds. The comparison is direct: mico means small monkey, and the tone is always playful or affectionate, never mean.

Examples

Your kid is a little monkey, he never stops for a second.

Those little monkeys climbed the tree and refuse to come down.

Regional synonyms

Extremely muscular, jacked, with a body that is clearly the result of serious gym work. This is the superlative form of "trabado" (buff) in Mexico, used to describe someone whose physique is impressively ripped and defined. If you see a guy at the gym who looks like he lives there, that is someone who is "trabadísimo." It is always used as a compliment for someone who has put in the work.
