/Sounds like "CHAN" (as in "cha-cha" + "n") + "ta" (as in "taco")/
An unreliable person who talks big but never delivers, or someone who fakes being something they are not. In Argentina and Uruguay, calling someone "chanta" is one of the harshest insults because it attacks their credibility and seriousness as a person. A chanta politician promises everything and does nothing. A chanta friend says they will show up and never does. It is all about the gap between what someone says and what they actually do.
"Ese político es un chanta, nunca cumple nada. -> That politician is a total fraud, he never follows through."
"No le creas, es re chanta. -> Don't believe him, he's completely unreliable."

Abrochadora
Engrapadora o grapadora en Argentina, el aparato de oficina para unir hojas de papel con grapas metálicas. Es una de esas palabras que demuestran que cada país hispano inventó su propio nombre para lo mismo.
