/Sounds like "choo" (as in "choose") + "PEH" (as in "pet") + "teh" (as in "ten")/
A hickey: the bruise left on the neck or skin from suction. Used in Chile, Argentina, and Spain, the chupete tells on you without saying a word. It is the most visible proof of what you were up to the night before, especially when it appears somewhere impossible to hide.
“He showed up with a hickey on his neck and everyone noticed it at the meeting.”
“Be careful about leaving marks in visible spots.”

Agarrar
To take or grab something with your hand in Latin America, the universal verb for picking things up. While Spain uses 'coger,' Latin America sticks with 'agarrar' to avoid the awkward double meaning.
