Antonio, Y3, asked what was the word for "patillas" and I couldn't remember, but here it is: Believe it or not, "patillas" is "sideburns" (the other
option is "sidewhiskers", which makes me laugh because "whiskers" - though applicable to humans - is what cats have! - know the brand?)
Sideburns or sideboards are patches of facial hair on the sides of a man's face, in front of the ears. They were originally called burnsides, most
likely after General Ambrose Burnside. His hairstyle connected thick sideburns via the moustache but left the chin clean-shaven. (Wikipedia, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sideburns)
Sideburns: continuations of the hairline in front of the ears
Side-whiskers: whiskers on the side of the face usually worn long (Merriam-Webster)
