/Sounds like "kah" (as in "car") + "SEH" (as in "set") + "tah" (as in "tar")/
A toll booth on a Mexican highway where you pay to keep driving on a faster, well-maintained road. The alternative is the "libre" (free road), which is cheaper but slower. Paying the caseta is the everyday calculation of whether your time is worth more than the fee.
“The toll is 150 pesos, have your money ready.”
“There's a huge line at the toll booth, we haven't moved in twenty minutes.”

No dar un palo al agua
A Spanish expression for someone who absolutely refuses to work, not even lifting a finger. The imagery comes from rowing: not giving a single stroke means not moving at all. Always used in the negative, always with a tone of reproach.
