/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.”
