/Sounds like "chee" (as in "cheek") + "CHOHN" (as in "chose")/
A bump or lump on the head or forehead from a hard knock, caused by fluid building up under the skin. The classic result of banging your head somewhere, common in Mexico and Central America, and universally recognizable to anyone who has rushed through a low doorway.
“He hit his head and got a huge bump right on his forehead.”
“That lump on your head looks like it really hurts.”

Calilla
A difficult situation, tight spot, or problem that's hard to get out of. In Costa Rica, being 'en una calilla' means you're stuck, no money on a Friday, forgot your passport at the airport, locked out of your own house. Minor catastrophes with major inconvenience.
