pillete m (plural pilletes)

  1. scamp; rogue
    • 1877, Benito Pérez Galdós, Gloria:
      Su conducta era más propia de un pillete que de un reloj. Así cuando eran las seis, él marcaba y tañía las once o vice-versa, y a veces se tragaba medio día lindamente, o se empeñaba en hacer creer que el sol salía después de misa mayor.
