In Spanish slang, 'mantecado' is commonly used in Puerto Rico to refer to a type of shortbread cookie or ice cream. However, it can also be used metaphorically to describe someone who is soft, easygoing, or mild-mannered.
Examples
- Spanish: Mi amigo es un mantecado, nunca se enfada con nadie.
- English: My friend is a 'mantecado', he never gets angry with anyone.
