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

/Sounds like "KAH" (as in "car") + "choh" (as in "chose")/

Meaning

A piece or small portion of something. In Chile and other countries, 'un cacho' is an undefined chunk, a bit of time, a bit of food, a piece of something larger. Also used in Chile as a problem or inconvenience.

Examples

Dame un cacho de eso, que quiero probar.

Give me a piece of that, I want to try it.

That errand is a hassle, I've been trying to sort it out for three days.

Mexican expression for dismissing someone or something, or for throwing in the towel out of frustration. Telling someone to go "a la goma" means you're done with them or just don't care anymore.
