/Sounds like "cheem" (as in "cheek") + "BAHR" (as in "bar")/
To cross a body of water or difficult terrain on foot when there's no easier way. In Colombia, chimbar means wading through a stream, canal, or flooded road, getting wet and doing what needs to be done.
“Tuvimos que chimbar el caño para llegar a tiempo.”
“We had to wade through the canal to get there on time.”
“With those rains, crossing the stream on foot is almost mandatory.”

Piña
A hard punch, a full-force hit. A well-landed piña can knock anyone down flat. "Darse piñas" means getting into a fistfight with no formalities, just swinging.
