/Sounds like "kwee" (as in "queen") + "dah" (as in "dart") + "KOH" (as in "coat") + "chehs" (as in "check")/
A person who watches over parked cars on the street in exchange for tips. They're a fixture of Latin American city life, you pay them a small fee and hope your car is still there when you come back.
“Give the car watcher some change so he keeps an eye on it.”
“The car watcher was there all night guarding the cars.”

Mañoso
A tricky, scheming person who uses deception and hidden moves to get an advantage. In Ecuador, Colombia, and Peru, a mañoso never plays it straight: there is always something extra on the bill you did not order, or a clause in the deal you did not notice. The opposite of someone you can trust at face value.
