Chusmear
To snoop or stick your nose into other people's business. In Argentina and Uruguay, chusmear is practically a national pastime: it happens over WhatsApp group chats, through the window, or by deep-diving into someone's social media. The word carries no serious judgment; it is just what curious, social people do.
