It has no contract or fixed hours, and whoever lives "de changas" is making money day to day.

Cheta
A rich girl or a woman who acts like she's upper class in Argentina, typically associated with designer clothes, expensive tastes, and a snobby attitude. You can spot a cheta from a mile away by how she talks, where she eats, and the places she hangs out. It's the feminine form of "cheto.".
