favorite words

i was beginning to worry that i had nothing to say....to write about.
Then I started to read some news stories and some blogs.
I realized that I do have plenty to say......just need to sit down and think.
Digest the world around me....think......and let the words flow out.

Thurifer
reminded me of one of my fave spanish words:
"squinkle"...
it's not a word i was familiar with until...
i started watching novelas (spanish soap operas)

Zataod,
maybe i'm not spelling it correctly? anyone..anyone?

i think it's more of a slang word.
this is a dictionary of spanish slang

i don't know how to spell it, but it has to do with a misbehaved child. i think. for example,

"mira ay va ese squinkle metiche"
