/CHAU-chas/
Pocket change, coins, or an amount of money so small it's basically nothing. In Argentina, 'chauchas' are the coins at the bottom of your bag that don't add up to anything useful. Getting paid 'unas chauchas' for hard work is among the most Argentine insults possible.
"I don't even have bus fare."
"They paid me pennies for all that work."

Garcar
Estafar, engañar o traicionar a alguien en Argentina, hacerle algo sucio y dejarlo en una situación injusta. Si te garcaron, alguien abusó de tu confianza y te dejó pagando las consecuencias solo.
