Join Hablaaa and add the expression no one else has documented.

/Sounds like "bah" (as in "bar") + "CHEE" (as in "cheek") + "chah" (as in "chat")/

Meaning

In Mexico, the end of a cigarette or marijuana joint that's almost completely smoked down, the roach. In the neighborhood it's that last puff before you crush it out.

Examples

Don't toss the butt on the sidewalk, put it out properly.

All that was left was the roach and he still took a drag.

Regional synonyms

To show off, to brag, to flaunt what you have. In Mexico, when someone "se da taco" they are making sure everyone notices how great they are, whether it is their car, their clothes, or their accomplishments. It is pure peacocking.
