Spanish word for flipflop/sandal/slipper. It's what Hispanic/Latino
parents (usually mothers) use to beat their child's ass when they've had it with their misbehaviour.
And
don't even try to run, they can throw that thing round a corner like
boomerang and if you manage to run out the house then don't expect to be allowed back inside without getting twice the original punishment.
Hispanic/
Latina mother: *child's name*, GET OVER HERE NOW.
Kid: Shit, I can already feel la chancla getting spanked round my ass.
