/Sounds like "ah" (as in "art") + "choh" (as in "chose") + "RAHR" (as in "rapper") + "seh" (as in "set")/
To turn aggressive, arrogant, and confrontational in Peru to intimidate someone. The person who "se achora" squares up and makes threats to get their way.
“He got confrontational with the bus collector over the change.”
“Don't get in my face, I'm not scared of you.”

Cucaracha
Besides the disgusting insect that shows up when you least expect it, in Mexico 'cucaracha' is slang for traffic cops, named after the green color of their uniforms. Not exactly an affectionate nickname.
