Help with two Mexican Spanish terms
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.
