/Sounds like "chee" (as in "cheek") + "REEN" (as in "reed") + "gah" (as in "garden")/
A kite, the paper and stick flying toy that soars with the wind. In Venezuela flying a chiringa at Easter is a tradition that children look forward to all year long, running up the hill and letting it go.
“Let's fly kites on the hill this afternoon.”
“The kite got tangled in the tree and ripped completely.”

Cochinero
A huge, disgusting mess. In Mexico, cochinero describes a place that is filthy, cluttered, or so disorganized it makes you cringe just looking at it. The word comes from "cochino" (pig, dirty), and it is exactly what your mom calls your room when you have not cleaned it in a week. It can refer to physical messes like a trashed kitchen after a party, or even a messy situation in general. If someone says your place is a cochinero, you should probably start cleaning immediately.
