Jun 17 - Meaning of a Spanish word used in Mexican
Someone published this picture on Facebook and I know the meaning of everything but "chapinguero". Chapín means bowlegged or Guatemalan - I'm presuming it is a derogatory usages. But the use in this pictures seems to be a friendly one. I've searched many internet sources (including RAE) but cannot find a definition. Please forgive me if it is an inappropriate vulgarity and delete the post. I'm not interested in those kinds of words.
See bosquederoble's answer and my comment. I'll see if I get anymore responses but I think the question is answered.

Jun 19 - "What should I teach you?"
I translated this sentence, "What should I teach you?", as either: "¿Qué debería enseñarte?" or "¿Qué te debería enseñar?". Someone told me it should've been "¿Qué le debería enseñar?" or "¿Qué debería enseñarle?". My questions are:
Were they correct, and was I wrong about using the direct object pronoun te instead of indirect object le? (Were they just talking about "leismo"?)
If my translation is correct, would it be 'more' natural if I attached the "te" at the end of enseñar instead of placing it in front of "debería"?
Did I use the correct conjugation of deber here?
Thank you so much in advance!

Jun 19 - filtraciónes de agua
Can the phrase "filtraciones de agua" be considered as a false cognate (false friend)? I can't seem to locate it on any of the lists of false cognates.
"Las habitaciones estan en pesimas condiciones, hay filtraciónes de agua por todos lados, las sabanas tienen mal olor..."
I'm interpreting "hay filtraciónes de agua por todos lados" as "there are leaks (i.e. rain or another kind of water) on all sides..."
It certainly would not be "there is water filtration on all sides."
Is this a regionalism? A search of "filtraciónes de agua" on google images primarily reveals photos of water filters, with just a few photos of water leaks.
Yes? No? Maybe?

Jun 20 - "Y" en lugar de "Que" ("y" instead of "que)?
Hola a todos.
In order to keep my proficiency in Spanish high, I have dedicated myself to reading Spanish online. Something that I've recently seen is the phenomenon of the letter "y" in the place of "que" after "esperar" in subjective sentences.
For example, "Espero y llegue Lady Gaga en mi país."
Shouldn't it be "espero que" instead of "espero y"? Is this some type of hip Spanish trend in Internet writing, because I've never seen this construction of "esperar y" in professional writing or spoken Spanish. I know this is such a minor things to get worked up about, but I'm forever curious.
Muchas gracias a todos que me puedan ayudar.

Jun 20 - "no hay dos sin tres"
What does the lyrics mean: "Ya lo ves, que no hay dos sin tres"
It comes from this song: "corazon partio" (alejandro sanz)
Tiritas pa este corazón partío. tiri-ti-tando de frío. tiritas pa este corazón partío. pa este corazón.
Ya lo ves, que no hay dos sin tres, que la vida va y viene y que no se detiene... y, que sé yo, pero miénteme aunque sea, dime que algo queda entre nosotros dos, que en tu habitación nunca sale el sol, ni existe el tiempo, ni el dolor.
Llévame si quieres a perder, a ningún destino, sin ningún porqué.
Ya lo sé, que corazón que no ve es corazón que no siente, o corazón que te miente amor. pero, sabes que en lo más profundo de mi alma sigue aquel dolor por creer en ti. ¿qué fue de la ilusión y de lo bello que es vivir?
¿Para qué me curaste cuando estaba herío, si hoy me dejas de nuevo el corazón partío?
¿Quién me va a entregar sus emociones?, ¿quién me va a pedir que nunca le abandone?, ¿quién me tapara esta noche si hace frío?, ¿quién me va a curar el corazón partío?, ¿quién llenara de primaveras este enero, y bajará la luna para que juguemos? Dime, si tú te vas, dime, cariño mío, ¿quién me va a curar el corazón partío?
