/Sounds like "CHOW" (as in "chow") + "chahs" (as in "chat")/
Pocket change or an amount of money so small it is basically worthless. The word comes from Quechua "chaucha," meaning a small, low-value potato. Getting paid "unas chauchas" for hard work is the most Argentine way of saying you were completely underpaid.
“I do not even have enough change for the bus, I will have to walk.”
“They paid me pennies for weeks of work, it was insulting.”

Once
An afternoon tea in Chile with bread, dulce de leche, ham, and cheese. Chilean once is an immovable tradition, practically a second dinner disguised as a snack that nobody skips.
