/Sounds like "chweh" + "KAHR" (as in "car")/
To twist, bend, or knock something out of its normal position. Can also mean to cheat or do something in a crooked, dishonest way, a multi-use verb for anything that ends up misaligned.
“The bolt got stripped and it doesn't close properly.”
“That referee skews everything in favor of the other team.”

Pilas
Stay alert, pay attention, or be ready to act. In Colombia, Ecuador, Venezuela, and Peru, "pilas" is a direct warning or instruction to sharpen up before something important happens. Literally "batteries": having your batteries charged means being switched on and aware.
