jugar a los carritos
  6

Actually, it would be just that: "playing with cars", but it turns out that it arrived here at the same time as the query "playing with dolls", and together they then take on another meaning, since it is considered as a prejudiced stereotype of "play for a male child" that does not correspond to women.

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 .

de diez

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".
