/Sounds like "teez" (as in "tea") + "NAH" (as in "nacho") + "doh" (as in "door")/
In Mexico, literally "sooty" or "covered in ash," but also used as a mild neighborhood insult, a softened substitute for a stronger word, roughly equivalent to "the bastard" or "that scoundrel."
“He came back tiznado with charcoal after grilling all afternoon.”
“That tiznado took my tools and never returned them.”

Guayacán
In Colombia, calling someone a guayacán is the highest kind of compliment: they are unbreakable. The word comes from the guayacán tree, famous for its incredibly hard wood and long life. This person has faced hardship, stayed standing, and kept going.
