زمینه فرهنگی

In Spain, the phrase is often used with 'la yaya' (grandma) to describe the special bond with a grandchild. While 'ojito derecho' is understood, 'el consentido' is a very strong competitor in daily speech. In Argentina, you might hear 'el debilidad' (the weakness) used similarly to describe a favorite person. The concept of 'el benjamín' (the youngest child) often overlaps with being the 'ojito derecho'.
