/Sounds like "CHAHR" (as in "chat") + "chah" (as in "chat")/

Meaning

Something of poor quality, bad, or completely useless. In Chile, calling something a "charcha" is the equivalent of calling it trash. Works for food, movies, products, service, or anything that disappoints and is not worth the time or money.

Examples

That movie was a total waste, do not bother watching it.

Don't buy from there, the food is terrible and overpriced on top of that.

/Sounds like "CHAHR" (as in "chat") + "chah" (as in "chat")/

Meaning

Bad, ugly, low quality, or just plain disappointing. In Chile, charcha is the all-purpose word for anything that fails to deliver: terrible food, awful weather, an unbearable person, or any situation that is just not it. Versatile and brutally honest.

Examples

This pizza is charcha, I am never ordering it again.

What charcha weather today, it rained nonstop the whole day.
