Spanish abbreviations of days of the week On the contrary, the two-letters forms is the most used in my experience (Argentina). |

Translating “how is …?” and “how was …?” Another verb that is sometimes used here is "andar" "¿Cómo anda el tráfico?" "¿Cómo anduvo la reunión" - though this would rather correspond to "How did the meeting go?" |

shy: tímido vs. reservado vs. vergonzoso vs. penoso +1 "Penoso" means something completely different from "shy" also here (Argentina). |

Translation of “too good to be true” +1 For once, the literal translation works. And in this context, there is also a popular saying that might be used (but not as translation) "Cuando la limosna es grande hasta el santo desconfía" . |

Translation of “be nice” (said to children) Same in Argentina (only different stress, because of voseo: "portate bien" = "comportate") |

What is the difference between allí and ahí (“there”)? All this is ok, but it's also subtle and a little artificial. And the difference varies (or vanishes) with regions and ages. In Argentina, both are practically synonims, only that 'ahí' is more informal and common. |

Armpit: sobaco vs. axila In Argentina "sobaco" is much more informal, almost vulgar. You'd never hear it in a deodorant ad, or in medical speak. |

What is the difference between “Entrometido” and “Entremetido”? One is surely a deformation of the other. I only know/use "entrometido", "entremetido" sounds wrong to me. |

What's the meaning of “Y yo voy y me lo creo”? +1 Rather Spain-specific. Little or no use here (Argentina). |

Are there any words that have opposite regional meanings? BTW, the more common words for those meanings ("pelón" is no very common) are "peludo" (lots of hair) and "pelado" (no hair)... that are quite similar, with no obvious cue of which one is which. |
