/Sounds like the English word "caret" + "eh" (as in "egg") + "AHR" (as in "art")/
In Argentina, to fake it or keep up appearances, pretending everything is fine when it is not. Like putting on a mask to avoid showing your real feelings or situation.
“She was caretearing through the whole meeting as if nothing was wrong.”
“Don't caretear - I know you're not okay even if you say you are.”

Jote
A person who persistently pursues someone romantically without being welcome and refuses to read the signs. In Chile, the word comes from the jote, an Andean scavenging bird known for circling and hovering. The jote hovers. He circles. He does not take a hint.
