I have seen it used in place of "por" because the x is like a multiplication sign which is called "por" in Spanish. It might be used in place of other things for different reasons of course. Do you have a sentence as an example?

2. Dalé 18 up, 1 down

it can also mean "do it"

I've been reading this thread for a long time, and you guys are amazing! Now finally I'm going to break down and ask a few questions of my own.

In the song "Yo quiero hacerte el amor" by Wisin y Yandel, they say "En el cuarto, yakiando" what does "yakiando" mean? I think it's PR slang for "talking" but I'm not really sure.

What does "ya" literally mean? I understand it when people say "Ya te dije" - "I already told you" and I understand the phrases "Ya me voy" and "Ya no quiero", but I don't understand what difference the word "ya" makes, why not just say "No quiero"? I know that usually it means "already" but sometimes it gets confusing when I try to literally translate it.

And finally, "pues". My mexican friends say "orale pues" Kind of like "All right then" but my boyfriend (who is from El Salvador) will call and it goes like this

Him: "Que haces?"
Me: "Nada, estoy en mi casa"
Him: "Pues que?"

That's where he loses me lol. Thank you guys so much in advance!

if you try to translate ya as 'in this moment' you could understant all its meannings

ex. ya no quiero as 'now I dont want'
ex. ya te dije as 'now, I told you'
ex. ya me voy as 'now , I'm leaving'
ex. ya no quiero as 'now, I dont want'

as you see is just a word used to emphasize or stress that the accion became aware in this moment,

I can't explain it in others words

i thought ya meant something already happened, like "ya tenemo to'" we already have everything. that's how all the dictionaries list it. it can be used both was. in the case with ya quiando (no idea what that word is), your usage would be right, but it's good to know all the ways a word can be used

is chiquilla similar to chiquita in meaning? i've never heard that one before

Yes, both are diminutive from chica, -ina, -ita are sufixes (in femenine) the masculine would be -ino, -ito.
Though chiquita has a meaning of litle one, small one too, and make it more diminutive saying chiquitita as in the ABBA song

Greeting
