/Sounds like "KAH" (as in "car") + "chohs" (as in "chose")/
A Tico word for shoes, especially worn, beat-up, or everyday ones. "Tus cachos están hechos pedazos" means your shoes are wrecked. Also used for any casual footwear you grab without thinking before heading out. Heard daily in Costa Rica and has no exact equivalent in other Central American countries, although "cacho" means different things elsewhere in the Americas.
“I'm buying new shoes.”
“Put on the old shoes to wash the car.”

Bicho malo nunca muere
A saying that means troublemakers, corrupt people, and bad actors always seem to survive and never face real consequences. Used with resignation or dark humor across Central America and Mexico when someone shady keeps landing on their feet no matter what they do.
