/Sounds like "ah" (as in "art") + "fay" + "TAHR" (as in "tar")/
In Mexico and Colombia, to rip someone off or overcharge them in an abusive way. Getting "shaved" means you paid way more than the real price.
“At that market they totally ripped me off on the taxi price.”
“Watch out or they'll overcharge you if you buy without asking the price first.”

Andar en chinga
To be super busy, running from one thing to another without stopping in Mexico. Being "en chinga" is the natural state of someone juggling a thousand things at once, with no time to breathe, eat, or think.
