Answer 5

I thought chiflado meant you were looney tunes.

Answer 6

I have read that "estar chiflado/a por alguien", ej: "Estoy chiflado/a por tí" means that you have a crush on someone/you fancy someone. I suppose it might be similar to saying: "I'm crazy about you"?

Has anyone heard chiflado used in this context? Thanks.

Yes! as per my ice cream analogy - margaretbl, JUL 11, 2010

No. I have never heard of that use of "chiflado". I'm crazy about you : Estoy loco/a por ti. - 00e46f15, JUL 11, 2010

Answer 7

Yes. Spoiled brat.

Answer 8

I always thought chiflado was somebody crazy, nuts, off their head, loco. Is that wrong?

Answer 9

Me chiflan los helados en una noche calurosa (como ahora).... ¿Tiene algo que ver? Bajo a McDonalds.. adios.

"I go crazy for ice cream on a warm night" It's a good advert, isn't it? - 005faa61, JUL 11, 2010
