A malagueño asks for pitufos - smurfs - for breakfast. You ask for a nube - cloud - or a mitá - half, when you want a coffee with milk. Churros are tejeringos. When things go great, a malagueño goes perita. When he is attentive to things, he is aliquindoi. If he asks you to be the one who is aware, he will tell you, fíte! When something is more than a lot, it is a pechá. When you are a bit out of your mind, for them you are a majarón, and, if you are a tight pocket, you are an encogío.
