A Peruvian exclamation of surprise that comes out fast when something hits you. It's short, direct, and you hear it on every corner in Lima when something unexpected happens.
Your house or crib in Peruvian street slang. Saying 'me voy al jato' is like saying 'I'm heading home' but with that casual vibe you only use around close friends.

To obsessively check someone's social media — scrolling through old photos, reading their tweets, and tracking their every move. Everyone's done it, but nobody wants to admit it.
A security guard — adapted from the English word 'watchman' into Latin American Spanish. The guachimán watches over buildings, parking lots, and anything that needs guarding.
