Help with two Mexican Spanish terms

[H91QC]

Greetings all,

I am an American who can't speak a word of Spanish. I would like to ask for your help with a few Mexican Spanish words and terms, which I need for a short story I write involving a Mexican-American mother (40-ish) and her US-born daughter (20).

First, I need a term of endearment that Mexican mothers use when addressing their daughters, something equivalent to "baby", "honey", "sweetheart", or "my love". The daughter is twenty, but the mother, being a mother, will use terms of endearment commonly used for little girls.

Second, I need a word for "slut" or "whore" or something equivalent. It should fit in a sentence such as "don't act like a slut" or "you're dressing like a prostitute".

If you could give me several plausible words in each category, that would be great.

Again I emphasize that these must be Mexican Spanish words, not words from any other variety of Spanish.

Thank you for your help.

You can use cariña, mi amor, mi vida , etc.
Putesca means whorish.

Mija would be an excellent choice.

"Slut or Whore" - Zorra. Golfa is also another good option, although outside of Mexico it's meaning may be very different. Be careful with these.

don't act like a slut - No te portes como zorra/golfa

you're dressing like a prostitute - Te vistes como una prostituta

With the exception of golfa, all of these work in any country.

Cariño es un adjetivo neutro, usado para ambos generos.

Mija would be an excellent choice.

También 'mijita'.
