You can find here the complete reference guide for plurals in Spanish by RAE. In that document you can read that there are some differences from the general rules, which aren't as simple as you described but are quite closed. For example some words coming from other languages can have the same word for singular as for plural: (from Latin) El currículum ...

I think the best translation would be descanso. The RAE lists: Quietud, reposo o pausa en el trabajo o fatiga. as one of the meanings of descanso. recreo would probably be best translated as "recess"; pausa is closer to "pause"; entreacto is closer to "intermission"; interrupción is closer to "interruption"; vacaciones is closer to "vacation";

According to Word Magic and Wiktionary suéteres is the correct word. This is a word borrowed from English word sweater and when the noun ends with -r you must form the plural with -es(Formación del plural en español) Sustantivos y adjetivos terminados en -l, -r, -n, -d, -z, -j. Si no van precedidas de otra consonante, forman el plural con -es: dócil, ...

It’s very strange that a slang word doesn’t exist yet, as it is a familiar character in novels, ...

In many dialects (or forms, if you wish) of Spanish, the S before a consonant transforms into an aspirated sound very similar to the english H. So imagine something like Jesuhcristo and it's only logical that it ends up like Jesucristo * Yes, the S in Cristo could have suffered the same process, so there's a hole in my theory. :D

It's not acceptable in formal writing, but we do that all the time. You cannot say it's incorrect. It is not. "Salida coches" and "Venta garage" is perfect Spanish for a sign. I'm punctilious (we all at StackExchange are, aren't we?) and, if I'm writing a report, the heading would be "Notificación de enfermedades infecciosas": I would never dream of ...

Robacunas podría ser, pero también haría referencia a otros rangos de edades, por ejemplo un joven de 22 años saliendo con una chica de 16 podría ser calificado de robacunas. El término que mas se le acerca creo que sería Comehombres, ya que por tratarse de alguien que come hombres, da la idea de que se trata principalmente de una mujer, y el término ...
