/Sounds like "chah" (as in "chat") + "mah" (as in "mark") + "keh" (as in "kept") + "AHR" (as in "art")/
To treat someone like a kid, to underestimate them or trick them as if they're naive and don't realize it. In Mexico, chamaquear means disrespecting someone's intelligence.
“Don't chamaquear me, I know how much that costs.”
“Stop chamaquearing the client, he's not stupid.”

Papelón
A public embarrassment big enough for everyone to witness and remember. Making a papelón means you messed up in front of an audience: forgot your speech, fell down the stairs at work, or said something completely wrong in a meeting. The shame has witnesses.
