/Sounds like "kah" (as in "car") + "rrah" + "PEE" (as in "pea") + "choh" (as in "chose")/
A clingy, impossible-to-shake person who attaches themselves to you like a burr on your socks and simply will not take the hint. Used in Venezuela. The name comes from the carrapicho plant, whose sticky seeds latch onto clothing and are a nightmare to remove. This person is that seed: uninvited, persistent, and exhausting.
“That guy is a total carrapicho, he shows up wherever you go without ever being invited.”
“He latched on to our group from day one and there is just no polite way to get rid of him.”

Guinea pig that's eaten roasted, fried, or baked in the Andes. For tourists it's shocking; for Peruvians, Ecuadorians, and Bolivians, it's a traditional delicacy.
