/Sounds like "kah" (as in "car") + "chah" (as in "chat") + "rreh" + "AHR" (as in "art")/
In Spain, to tinker with gadgets, old appliances, or machines out of pure curiosity, not as a professional. From "cacharro" (a beat-up, low-value object). The hands-on hobby of taking things apart just to understand how they work, adjusting and experimenting with no goal beyond satisfying curiosity.
“Se pasa las tardes cacharreando con ordenadores viejos. (He spends his afternoons tinkering with old computers just to see how they work.)”
“Le gusta cacharrear con el coche los fines de semana. (He loves spending weekends tinkering around with the car.)”

Chompipe
Turkey (the bird) in Central America, specifically in Costa Rica, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, and El Salvador. It is the big bird you eat at Christmas, but every Spanish-speaking country calls it something different: "guajolote" in Mexico, "pavo" in Spain and South America, and "chompipe" in Central America. The word has indigenous roots and is deeply tied to holiday cooking traditions in the region.
