/Sounds like the English word "chaquet" + "eh" (as in "egg") + "AHR" (as in "art")/
To switch sides, flip your position, or betray someone you publicly supported. In Mexico and Central America, a "chaquetero" is someone who backs you today and quietly ends up on the opposite side tomorrow, driven purely by self-interest. The word carries strong connotations of opportunism and disloyalty.
“That politician flipped and now shows up with the very people he used to attack.”
“Do not back out now, you already gave your word.”

Apendejado
Acting dazed, naive, or inexplicably slow to react, as if your brain has switched to airplane mode. In Venezuela, Colombia, and Mexico, apendejado describes someone so confused or checked out that they miss what is right in front of them.
