Bandera de Chile

/Sounds like 'koo-CHOON-ko'/

Small change, loose coins, or a very minimal amount of cash. When you only have cuchuncos, you're not paying for much — just the random coins that accumulate at the bottom of a pocket without adding up to anything useful.

Example

"I only have some loose change in my pocket."

"I was left with just coins after the market."

Mujer de clase alta o que aparenta serlo, generalmente asociada con ropa de marca, gustos caros y actitud presumida en Argentina. Se nota desde lejos por cómo habla, dónde come y los lugares que frecuenta.
