pinta

Pinta has several distinct meanings depending on context.

In British slang, a pinta is a pint of milk, from the advertising slogan "drinka pinta milka day." In Spanish-speaking contexts, pinta means a spot or mark, and in medicine refers to a tropical skin disease causing discolored patches.

In colloquial Spanish, tener buena pinta means to look good or promising.
