Meanings sorted by:

vatio: It is the name of the International System unit for power. It is equal to 1 joule per second and its symbol is W. It is a tribute to the English engineer James Watt. [Note: in the example there is a metonymic use for "electric lamp", but it is not a common thing and that is why I do not include it in the definition. ]
ohmio: It is the unit of resistance in continuous electricity and impedance in alternating electricity for the International System. The symbol is a 937; ( capital omega ) , although as with other units it usually has an exclusive and differentiated symbol ( that most graphic sources draw the same 128533; ) , and for the ohm it would be 8486; . The name is a tribute to the German physicist Georg Simon Ohm, creator of the law that also bears his name. See micron , °C , °F .
lacorro: In some regions of Spain it is "boy, boy, youth". It is of caló origin, where it names more specifically the "young bachelor", and is usually used referring to the payo ("who is not gypsy"). See gypsy/lacorrillo .
chulapo: It is what a young man from the lower class is called in Madrid. It would be a derogatory pimp, although it is used affectionately. 2º_ Chulapo is a ravine in the parish of Vilcabamba (Loja canton, Ecuador). The origin of the name is Quechua, for chulla ("only") apu ("chief, cacique, great").
majo: 1º_ Young man beautiful and graceful. 2º_ Inflection of the verb majar . See verbs/majo.
chamo: 1º_ It is an Americanism that applies to a person as "boy, youth, adolescent", and its use can be extended to "friend, companion", as a familiar way of addressing someone. There is no agreement on its origin, one theory assumes it in the English chum ("companion, close friend"), but that only explains the second meaning, which is surely a consequence of the first, as well as another that supposes a Mexican origin in chamaco, a word that actually seems more a derogatory or diminutive of 'chamo'. Most likely, it does not come from the north but from the Andean region, since it has versions from the Argentine NW and it is common in Peru and Bolivia to use chamita for girls and young women; so it is better associated with the Quechua voice chami ("small, often"). 2º_ Common name of the shrub Cestrum auriculatum . It is also known as holy herb, tundio, eckuack.
muchacho: Boy, and his feminine girl, is a young person, who has left childhood. It is a variation of the old Castilian 'mochacho', perhaps of mocho , by the cut trunk that begins to grow.

chavalo: It is a variant of chaval ("young boy, also boy") used in the Spanish-speaking Caribbean. The feminine remains as "chavala". See chavo .
niño: 1º_ It is said of the young person, from birth to adolescence, that he is in childhood. In some cases it is used even for adults, in an affectionate way or as a form of respect towards someone who was seen growing up; It is also usually a nickname. By metonymy it is synonymous with immature, bison, single. 2º_ Locality in the department of La Libertad ( Peru ) .

reventaera: It is a feminized vulgarization of blowout ("heavy work").
enfurruñao: It is a vulgarism by sulking ("angry, with a furrowed face", "[sky] overcast").
zancajás: It actually looks like a syncopational inflection of the verb zancajear, but it sure is here as a vulgarism for the plural of zancajada ("stride").
esmallao: It seems a mistake for a vulgarism by "fainting".
ni aca: It is a common Americanism, but it does not reach locution, because it says exactly that, and it is used exactly like "no shit" ("not the minimum, not even the worst"). See aca ( "excrement" ) , quechua/aka , cayambicaranqui/aka , aca , also here ( adverb ) , ñaca , catanga .
