/Sounds like the English word "chaf" + "eh" (as in "egg") + "AHR" (as in "art")/
A Chicano and Mexican verb meaning to do something badly, lazily, in a chafa (low-quality) way. It comes from the adjective "chafa" (cheap, low-quality) turned into a verb. "Chafear el trabajo" means to half-ass it, "chafearse" a task means not taking it seriously. It's used for objects ("esto está chafeado") and attitudes ("estás chafeando la relación").
“Don't half-ass the homework.”
“That project came out janky.”
