A-Z Modismos Guatemaltecos

Question

Category: Guatemalan Sayings / modismos guatemalteros

I will give the first word that begins with "A", and (today only) the second word beginning with "B" because it means something to special to me. Then you post a word that starts with "C", then "D" and so on. Please put your answer in Spanish, and provide an English translation.

My Word:

A - acuchuchar: mimar, consentir a alguien. (to baby)

Have fun!
