Your word isn't here yet

Join Hablaaa and add the expression no one else has documented.

/Sounds like "KOH" (as in "coat") + "chee" (as in "cheek")/

Meaning

A pig, or a very dirty and messy person. In northern and central Mexico, "cochi" comes from the Nahuatl word for pig and is used both literally for the animal and as a mild insult for someone with poor hygiene or a chaotic, filthy living space.

Examples

Stop being such a pig and clean your room for once.

That gross person eats everything without washing their hands.
