/Sounds like "EHL" (as in "egg") + "CHEE" (as in "cheek") + "noh" (as in "note")/
In Argentina, the neighborhood corner store or small supermarket run by Chinese immigrants, found on practically every city block. "Ir al chino" is the everyday way of saying you're going out for groceries.
“Go down to el chino and grab a soda and some bread.”
“The chino on the corner stays open late, we always buy there.”

In Mexico, to be having bad luck or to be in a foul mood where everything goes sideways. It can describe a passing state of mind or a streak that feels endless, when nothing works and everything seems to go wrong at once.
