Chilean Spanish is rich with unique nicknames. “Weon” (derived from “huevón,” meaning “big eggs”) is ubiquitous, used among friends. “Flaite” refers to someone from a lower socioeconomic background. “Pelao” (bald) is used for any young man, regardless of hair status. “Guatón” (big-bellied) is often used affectionately, even for thin people. “Quiltro” (mongrel dog) can be an endearing term for a mischievous person.
