In Argentina and Uruguay, to get completely absorbed in a phone call and lose all track of time. What was supposed to be a quick check-in turns into two hours without noticing. Very common when catching up with someone you have not spoken to in a while.

“Don't get stuck on the phone, there are still things we need to talk about.”

Chingana
A dive bar or cheap cantina in Peru and Bolivia where chicha or aguardiente flows freely and nobody puts on airs. The word comes from Quechua "chingana" meaning "hidden place," which came to name the informal, no-frills spots where people go to drink and unwind without pretense.
