/Sounds like "lahnd" (as in "lava") + "LOHRD" (as in "loan")/
Chicano Spanglish for the landlord or property owner you rent from. A figure of power in the barrio: the one you pay rent to, who can raise it or kick you out.
“The landlord won't fix the heating and winter is coming.”
“If you don't pay rent on time, the landlord sends a notice right away.”

Charcha
Bad, ugly, low quality, or just plain disappointing. In Chile, charcha is the all-purpose word for anything that fails to deliver: terrible food, awful weather, an unbearable person, or any situation that is just not it. Versatile and brutally honest.
