/Sounds like "ah" (as in "art") + "rrahn" + "KAHR" (as in "car") + "EHL" (as in "egg") + "KAH" (as in "car") + "rroh"/
To get something moving that has been stalled or to take the first step on something nobody has dared to start. When someone finally "arranca el carro," everything that was frozen starts moving. Used widely across Latin America for projects, paperwork, or any paralyzed situation.
“They finally got that process moving after it had been stalled for months.”
“We need someone to kick things off, everyone here is waiting for someone else to go first.”

Mucha
In Guatemala, a friend group or crew. "La mucha" is your squad, the people you hang out with. It also works as a general greeting: "que tal mucha" is basically "what's up everyone." Only Guatemalans use it with this natural ease.
