/Sounds like "ehn" (as in "egg") + "choo" (as in "choose") + "FAHR" (as in "far")/
To hook someone up with a job, contract, or favor through personal connections rather than merit. Common across Spain and Latin America when nepotism or cronyism gets someone a position they did not earn on their own.
“His uncle enchufed him into the company without a single interview.”
“They got me plugged into the project and I barely know what I am supposed to do.”

Pelota
A sycophant who flatters those in power to get ahead, the classic yes-man who celebrates even his boss's mistakes. In Colombia and Venezuela, pelota is synonymous with "lambón" or "lame botas": someone who never has their own opinion, only whatever the boss thinks.
