Another option.
manito = literally "little mano"
Oxford:
mano, -na m, f (AmL exc CS fam) (apelativo) buddy (AmE colloq), mate (BrE colloq)
Good luck!

: manito en este caso es "hermanito" = "bro"

Yes, that's exactly right, "mano" = "hermano". "Hermanito" "little""bro"... ;-)

But somehow I missed it...
Anyhow. Seems like an acceptable reference. Greetings! :-)
In my native Cuba, "dímelo" is a standard greeting among male friends, and it has nothing to do with telling anything. It's pretty much the same as the American "what's up," or the Colombian "¿Qué más?." My two cents.
