/Sounds like "chahn" (as in "chat") + "cheh" (as in "check") + "REE" (as in "reed") + "ah" (as in "art")/
Dirty, messy, or poorly mannered behavior or attitude. Used across Argentina, Chile, Uruguay, Peru, Bolivia, and Ecuador to call out lack of hygiene, carelessness, or conduct that is just plain unclean and makes others uncomfortable.
“The mess in the shared room led to formal complaints to management.”
“It's not about time: leaving the kitchen like that is just pure filthiness.”
