/Sounds like "ehn" (as in "egg") + "cheen" (as in "cheek") + "CHAHR" (as in "chat")/
To pester or annoy someone persistently and for no good reason. In Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador, "enchinchar" comes from "chinche" (bedbug), capturing that specific petty irritation of someone who just will not leave you alone, biting at you over and over.
“No me enchinches que estoy trabajando.”
“Stop bothering me, I am trying to work.”
“Ese niño se la pasa enchinchando a su hermana todo el día.”
“That kid spends the whole day pestering his sister without stopping.”
