Meanings sorted by:

qanalla: Clay pot or toaster used in the highlands. The transliteration "rogue" is also used, but this has nothing to do with the definition of Anonymous which is clearly a mistake.
tava: It is the name of a frying pan used in Indian and Pakistani cuisine.
de rondón: It is an expression that has fallen into disuse for an intrepid, daring, impetuous attitude. It is taken from the Old French randon ("strongly"). See rondon.
hacer del uno: It's a euphemism for peeing, for "doing the first thing." See "making two", one and two, and for some more detailed but less serious explanation: de-stressing.
jardín del edén: It is a more specific way of referring to Eden or "Earthly Paradise," a place where God created an orchard or garden for Adam and Eve to dwell in, according to Judeo-Christian religions.
de pe a pa: The meaning of this phrase is "from beginning to end, with total knowledge", and as our colleague Felipe Lorenzo del Río explains, it seems to come from the teacher's recitation ""eme", "a", "ma!", "pe", "a", "pa!", with which the first words are taught. Although there is a version that proposes a distortion of the abbreviation "of P . a P . " ("from [initial] word to [final] word") used by medieval copyists to indicate that the transcribed book was a faithful copy. See "from end to end", "from the cross to the date".
de palomita: It is a football expression for a player's jump where he heads or saves the ball in the air. Sure it comes from popcorn as a diminutive of pigeon, for flight.
de diez: This expression, which almost always follows a verb, is a reduction of ". . . of ten [points]" ("unbeatable, with the highest possible rating"). This is compared with the score from 0 to 10 (minimum to maximum) used, among other cases, for school evaluation. The addition of the preposition "de" doesn't seem to fit, but there are already cases in Spanish where it is used, as in "de lo mejor".
muelas de gallo: It is an ironic nickname for someone who is toothless or has teeth that are widely separated. It is precisely because the rooster bird has no molars. Mü or Muelas de Gallo are stage names of Mexican hip hop musician Aníbal Lavana Martínez.
el cuento del tío: It is a common name for any scam or deception where someone is convinced to hand over money in exchange for a promise that will later not be kept, or by appealing to their ambition by taking advantage of their unscrupulousness. The name comes from the story (in its meaning of "lie") most used at the beginning of the twentieth century, about a distant uncle who left a large inheritance but the nephew needed money to travel to collect, and he was going to share it with whoever would lend him for the passage and stay; And of course I never came back to pay. See "sell a mailbox", tocomocho, tongo, "put the cod", philately.
oficialnoicos: Plural of oficialnoico .
tenazonas: It's a plural, but I'm not sure what. Perhaps it's because of the augmentative of pincer ("tweezer-like tool"), or because of some feminine version of tenazón ("quick, improvised, and untidy act") used as an adjective, or because of a feminine augmentative of the tenacious adjective ("firm, resilient").
vaqueros: 1º_ Plural of cowboy ("relating to cattle and their grazing") . 2º_ This is also the term, in the plural, for jeans, jeans or blue jeans made of denim or canvas. See pants.
misticetos: Plural of mysticete ( Mysticeti ) .
nietos: Plural of grandson ("son of a son") which may include granddaughter ("daughter of a son").
escabiosos: It is the plural of scabious ("mangy"), but it can also be a scabies error.
anticlinales: Plural of anticline ("geological fold in a terrain") .
belenes: 1º_ Plural of nativity scene, in this case only for artistic or traditional representations of the birth of Jesus in the manger of Bethlehem. Thus, in the plural, it is more colloquially used for "confusion, commotion".
mesura y saber callar: See moderation, and (conjunction), know, be silent.
con la complacencia: It would be almost a definition for the expression "in sight and patience". . .
