In some Spanish speaking countries like Argentina and Uruguay, 'canilla' is used to refer to a person's shin or leg. However, in a more informal and colloquial context, it can also refer to a faucet or tap.
Examples
- Spanish: 1. Me golpeé la canilla jugando al fútbol. 2. Por favor, cierra la canilla que se está desperdiciando agua.
- English: 1. I hit my shin playing soccer. 2. Please, turn off the tap as water is being wasted.
