/Sounds like "CHOO" (as in "choose") + "nyoh" (as in "onion")/
Freeze-dried potato: an ancient Andean staple preserved by leaving potatoes out in the extreme highland cold overnight, then stomping out the moisture. In Bolivia and Peru, chuño has been solving food scarcity in the altiplano for centuries and is still eaten daily. Also used informally to say someone looks shriveled from the cold.
“Chuño with cheese is one of the most traditional dishes from the altiplano.”
“That predawn cold left me completely shriveled and frozen.”

Caballar
To work incredibly hard without stopping, to grind like a workhorse. Used in the Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico, "caballar" is a badge of honor describing the kind of relentless effort that gets real results.
