/Sounds like "boos" (as in "boot") + "KAHR" (as in "car") + "LAHS" (as in "lava") + "kohs" (as in "coat") + "KEE" (as in "keep") + "yahs" (as in "yard")/
To deliberately provoke someone, poke and prod until they react. In Spain, buscar las cosquillas (looking for the tickles) is a vivid image for pushing someone's buttons, testing their patience and knowing exactly which nerves to hit.
“Te está buscando las cosquillas para que te enfades.”
“He's poking at you on purpose to get you angry.”
“If you keep pushing my buttons, you're not going to like what happens.”

A classic Nicaraguan exclamation of surprise, confusion, or mild complaint, all packed into one word. It comes from "¿y de ahí?" contracted into fast speech. You drop it when someone says something unexpected, a situation takes a weird turn, or you need a beat to process what you just heard. One of the most recognizable words in Nicaraguan Spanish.
