/Sounds like "koh" (as in "coat") + "MEHR" (as in "met") + "KAH" (as in "car") + "yoh" (as in "yoke")/
To grind through difficult situations without complaining, to put in the hard work and take the knocks that come with it. In Mexico and Chile, the person who eats callo is tough, persistent, and keeps going even when things are rough.
“That job takes a lot of grinding at the start before things get easier.”
“He has been putting in the work for years and it finally paid off.”

Habla causa
A street greeting used between close friends in Peru, especially in Lima. "Causa" is your ride-or-die friend, and "habla causa" is basically saying "talk to me, buddy" or "what is up, man." You will hear it among young guys when they run into each other.
