Need equivalent of "Stinker"
Those of you who hail from the mid-west and south are familiar with the term of endearment "stinker" or "little stinker". Used when a small child is
being impish.
Need to know the word and the age when the term would no longer be appropriate.
I'm guessing 62 years old is too old, right?

That's a good word to know. In the part of the south where my folks grew-up they used stinker, and "punkin-head". I was called "punkin" as a term of
endearment. Being unable to change my own diapers, I'm guessing stinker might have been more appropriate.

TO DENNIS:
In high school, when my friend Joey Martinez would do something untoward (he was a little imp) his Abuela (Grandma) would call him "PENDEJO!"

I hear the term chamacos for older kids and bago for babies. Not sure if this is accurate for your use because I'm not sure of the translation.

Especially if it's a boy, you'll hear a lot of Mexican mamis and papis use the term "escuincle", which usually comes out as "SQUEEEEEEENK-LAY!"
