/Sounds like "CHOHM" (as in "chose") + "pah" (as in "park")/
A sweater or knit pullover for keeping warm in cold weather. In the Andes (Peru, Ecuador, Bolivia) the word comes from the English "jumper" and covers any warm garment of that shape, regardless of material or style. If it keeps the mountain cold out, it is a chompa.
“Grab your sweater before you go out, up in the highlands it gets cold at night even after a sunny day.”
“My grandmother knitted me a wool chompa that weighs half a kilo but warms you like nothing else.”

Encachinarse
In Colombia, to get worked up, aggressive, or enter a state of intense agitation when provoked. It describes the exact moment someone loses their cool and shifts into full confrontation mode. Once someone is encachinado, it is best to back off.
