/Sounds like "kwah" (as in "quack") + "DRAHR" (as in "draft") + "LAH" (as in "lava") + "keen" (as in "keep") + "SEH" (as in "set") + "nah" (as in "nacho")/
The very Latin American skill of making your biweekly paycheck stretch all the way to the next one. It means budgeting carefully, prioritizing every expense, and hoping nothing unexpected comes up. The most practiced sport of the average salaried worker.
“Budget this paycheck carefully, the bonus came in really short this month.”
“I plan every biweekly check from day one so I'm not broke by the middle of the month.”

Homie
Short for "homeboy," your closest friend and ride-or-die from the neighborhood. Rooted in Chicano slang from California, Texas, and the US Southwest, homie means someone who has your back without asking questions. Used in US Spanish with the same weight as "bro" but with specific street and Chicano cultural roots.
