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

/Sounds like "kahr" (as in "car") + "KOH" (as in "coat") + "chah" (as in "chat")/

Meaning

An old, beat-up car that should have been scrapped years ago but somehow keeps running. In Mexico, you call a car a "carcocha" when it is falling apart, makes weird noises, leaks oil, and has more years on it than its owner, but still gets the job done.

Examples

He still drives that old beater his grandpa left him.

Don't make fun of my junker, it's taken me everywhere without breaking down.

Regional synonyms

To strengthen a character or item in a video game through a developer update. The opposite of nerfing, when something becomes more powerful and everyone wants to use it in matches.
