comment 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.

comment Polite terms for excrement
Another relevant one to add to the list: "materia fecal". It's used, almost exclusively, for clinical tests.

comment Polite terms for excrement
+1 "defecación" is common for polite use (not very formal, just formal) but it's more used for the act than for the product. "excremento" is preferred. And "caca" is slightly childish/informal, but not vulgar.

comment Is there a rule for forming the diminutive of names?
@César: That would be shortening or abbreviation, rather than diminutive. I guess that's what the OP is pointing at, though.

comment How formal is cuán? What are the informal alternatives?
I personally like 'cuán', but indeed it sounds a little sophisticated here (Argentina).

+1 "Cómo es de grande tu coche?" is accepted use in Argentina, actually the standard way; though it sounds slightly incorrect.

comment Names of children's games
"Antón pirulero" has some slight resemblance to "Simon says".
