Codo = elbow, but it also means stingy.
tacaño only means stingy.

I think we learned "codo". "Tacaño" certainly doesn't sound familiar.

To be honest tacaño may be more internationally understood. I don't know if codo works in Spain, and Hernan didn't say whether it worked in Chile. I can only surely say it's commonly used in Spanish-speaking countries that face the Caribbean and Mexico.

But I mentioned that stingy people are called apretados. I did not know that codo meant the same thing for Caribbeans as for Mexicans, though. |

Efectivamente, la traducción de "elbow" es "codo" es español de España. Si a mí alguien me viene y me dice que alguien "anda con los codos" pensaré que ha perdido los antebrazos (no lo había oído nuna). Lo que sí se dice aquí es que alguien "habla por los codos" cuando habla mucho.
Tampoco se dice en España "me golpeé el codo", sino "me dí un golpe en el codo" (o cabeza, mano, pie, etc.), aunque la primera frase se comprende perfectamente y es correcta (no como lo de "andar con los codos", que no se entiende). |

To be codo is stingy in Mexico.
You are so stingy.
