Create account/Sounds like "chah" (as in "chat") + "FOHN" (as in "foam")/
A person who pretends to be something they're not, faking wealth, class, or status without actually having any of it. In Mexico, the 'chafón' puts on a show of sophistication that falls apart under scrutiny: the designer knockoff, the rental car for the photo, the borrowed lifestyle.
“He acts like he's rich but he's all fake.”
“Don't be a fraud, nobody believes you anyway.”

Tarjeta
A payment card, either debit or credit. In Mexico, asking for the terminal to pay with card is normal in most stores and restaurants, although markets, street stalls, and neighborhood taquerías still prefer cash. Always carry both, because half the city runs on plastic and the other half doesn't.
