chanclas
Casual summer footwear
Chanclas are flip-flops or sandals, the casual footwear slipped on for quick errands or worn around the house.
The word comes from Spanish and is common in Latino communities and the American Southwest.
Beyond footwear, la chancla carries cultural weight as the stereotypical weapon of choice for a mother disciplining her children: Don't make me get the chancla.
