/Sounds like "kah" (as in "car") + "heh" (as in "help") + "TEE" (as in "tea") + "yah" (as in "yard")/
A snobby upper-class person with an air of superiority and contempt for those they consider beneath them. In Argentina, cajetilla is a pointed insult aimed at the privileged who flaunt their status and look down on regular people.
“Ese cajetilla nunca va a entender los problemas del barrio.”
“That snobby rich kid will never understand the neighborhood's problems.”
“Don't be such a snob, the place is perfectly fine.”

Mejenga
An informal pickup soccer game between friends, no league, no referee, just pure street football on any available patch of ground. In Costa Rica, the mejenga is a social institution: on weekends and after work, groups of Ticos gather to play for the joy of playing. No other Spanish-speaking country uses this exact word.
