/Sounds like "cheen" (as in "cheek") + "GAH" (as in "garden") + "nah" (as in "nacho")/
A dive bar or cheap cantina in Peru and Bolivia where chicha or aguardiente flows freely and nobody puts on airs. The word comes from Quechua "chingana" meaning "hidden place," which came to name the informal, no-frills spots where people go to drink and unwind without pretense.
“Se fueron a la chingana después del trabajo a tomar algo. (They headed to the dive bar after work to grab a drink.)”
“En esa chingana ponen buena música y el trago es barato. (That place has great music and the drinks are cheap, perfect combination.)”

Congelado
A stingy, tight-fisted person who hates spending money in Panama. The 'congelado' (literally 'frozen') always has an excuse when the bill arrives, conveniently broke, suddenly distracted, or mysteriously disappeared to the bathroom at the exact right moment.
