/Sounds like "EH" (as in "egg") + "kees" (as in "keep")/
Something that doesn't matter, is irrelevant, or is completely insignificant. It's used to dismiss things as unimportant, the verbal equivalent of a shrug.
“Whatever, it doesn't matter.”
“The movie was so-so, nothing special.”

Mejenga
An informal pickup soccer game between friends, no league, no referee, just pure street football on any available patch of ground. In Costa Rica, the mejenga is a social institution: on weekends and after work, groups of Ticos gather to play for the joy of playing. No other Spanish-speaking country uses this exact word.
