/Sounds like "chee" (as in "cheek") + "LAH" (as in "lava") + "teh" (as in "ten")/
A traditional Nicaraguan and Central American drink made from ground corn, cacao, cinnamon, and annatto, served cold with ice. Sold at markets, fairs, and hot corners, it's the workers' midday refreshment and the kids' craving on the way home from school. Each area has its recipe: some sweeter, some more spiced, but corn is always in there.
“I had a really cold chilate.”
“The lady on the corner makes the best chilate.”

Lambisconear
In Mexico, to suck up shamelessly to someone in hopes of getting something in return. A lambiscón will flatter, agree with everything, and do whatever it takes to stay in the good graces of whoever can benefit them, with zero subtlety.
