What do these words mean to you?

In the early 1980's I began compiling a list of words that are generally associated with the pachuco era.  Since then I have spoken to individuals of different ages and from different parts of the country.  In talking with these individuals and in my search through various publications as well as websites I have encountered words for which I lack a clear definition.  The following is a list of such words.  If you recognize any of these words I would greatly appreciate your input.

1.) Chanfla

2.) Mechero

3.) Polaca

5.) Tolido

6.) Tares

7.) Safanar
