What does carnalillo mean?

Question

I can't seem to find a clear definition of this word.

Here's some example sentences I have found for it.

Es mi carnalillo de 12 años.

and

Que vas a llevar Carnalillo?

Thanks a lot!

I'm checking with a native speaker. It may take a few hours. When I find out more, I'll reply. - Jubilado, Jan 31, 2013

Answer 1

Here is the answer from my amiga boliviana directly from her email:

"LOL! Carnalillo comes from the word “ carnal.” It means “friend”. They added “illo” to it. It is mostly used in Mexico. Is the same as saying amiguito."

Carnal means carnal, by blood (in relationships) and buddy, pal (in Mexico).

Yes, that makes sense in the context. - annierats, Jan 31, 2013

Thank you so much, this makes a lot of sense. :) - Youtopia, Jan 31, 2013

Answer 2

The answer makes perfect sense, but I would've expected to see carnalito. Although a search in Google reveals more than a few people using canalillo.

Answer 3

One of my guesses: My fix, what turns me on???

I look forward to a answer from somebody who knows.

Answer 4

Good question. Are you sure on spelling? Or just rare slang maybe? I struck out on both WordReference and Linguee, which almost never happens.

It might be spelled canalillo, but both don't really bring anything up. - Youtopia, Jan 31, 2013
