/Sounds like "ah" (as in "art") + "chee" (as in "cheek") + "KAHR" (as in "car") + "seh" (as in "set")/
To back down, shrink, or give up when facing a hard challenge. In Argentina and Uruguay, when you "achicás" you become literally smaller in the face of the moment. Used in sports, work, and personal life, often as an affectionate but pointed reproach to someone who is about to quit.
“Do not back out now, you came all this way.”
“He choked in the final and that is why they lost the whole tournament.”
