"Tino ataahua" is Maori for "very pretty" (it turns out that "tino" translates to "very" and not "pretty" so that's my bad lol. I'm still going to pretend that it means pretty though. Ataahua would be a horrible nickname). However, in the sense that I use it, "tino" refers to someone very special. It is a nickname given to the sweetest and most beautiful person on the planet. Not a single person comes close to equalling the beauty that tino possesses. They have wonderful hair that looks great in any hairstyle/colour; pretty eyes; a cute, contagious smile that can light up a room; an incredible body; and immaculate fashion sense that is proven again and again through every outfit that they wear. Furthermore, tino is naturally gorgeous. They look stunning with and without makeup... it's all so effortless. Calling tino the most beautiful person in the world is no exaggeration. It's not an opinion. It's a well-known fact.

Lie-tino / Lietino
Definition:
A coined neologistic adjective, blending the words "lie" and "Latino", used to characterize the behavior of a small subset of individuals of Latino descent—particularly those of Puerto Rican heritage —who became widely known in FBA grassroots circles for exaggerating or distorting historical facts regarding the origins and history of Hip Hop culture during online debates. Though sometimes provocative, the term is intended as a satirical descriptor, not a pejorative noun or ethnic slur.
Background:
Coined in the early 2020s during online debates about Hip Hop’s 50th anniversary, the term arose as some Nuyoricans (Puerto Ricans from the Bronx) argued their cultural centrality to Hip Hop. These debates, occurring during the COVID-19 lockdowns and beyond, prompted backlash from grassroots Foundational Black Americans (FBA), who emphasized that Hip Hop’s core elements were created nationwide and exclusively by FBA artists, particularly drawing from Southern Black musical traditions. As claims from the Nuyorican side grew more combative and exaggerated, FBA commentators coined “Lietino/Lie-tino” as a satirical nickname. YouTube content creator Great Black Shark is credited with originating the term.

That’s classic Lie-tino behavior—turning a minor Latin percussion presence into a whole cultural takeover.

Tino is another name for a lame. Typically a guy who sits at home all the time eating wings, playing video games and jacking his bean stalk. Tino’s are to broke to go out on weekends. They usually live imaginary lives and say they are managers and assist famous people in life. They live in a dream world.
When your friend says he has exclusive plans and doing cool stuff too late find out he’s just a TINO

Nick Cantino. A self-obsessive transgender tiktoker who posts ragebait on tiktok for clout. They have been exposed multiple times for talking about their gender-reassignment surgery in public places such as Disney World. Along with, taking pictures in a public disney restroom. They have also been a dickhead to restaurant workers by refunding a meal the second they are misgendered. There was a petition done on change.org to ban them from tiktok and disney parks with over 200,000 votes done as of now.
Person 1: Hey, have you heard about Nick/Lily Tino?
Person 2: Yeah, he is a trans tiktoker who is widely hated for talking about their private parts at disney
Nick : IT IS SHE/HER!!!!
