/Sounds like "kye" (as in "kite") + "FAHN" (as in "far")/
A street-smart guy with style and attitude who walks with confidence and knows the ways of the world. Rooted in 1960s and 70s Mexican urban culture, it was associated with barrio kids who had swagger. Also the name of the legendary Mexican rock band Caifanes.
“Look at how he walks, that dude's got real swagger.”
“The cool street guys from the neighborhood used to hang out on the corner.”

Chusmear
To snoop or stick your nose into other people's business. In Argentina and Uruguay, chusmear is practically a national pastime: it happens over WhatsApp group chats, through the window, or by deep-diving into someone's social media. The word carries no serious judgment; it is just what curious, social people do.
